Amanda Deibert & Cat Staggs stop by to promote their work in The Powerpuff Girls Halloween Special#1!
Today, I'm joined by not one, but TWO awesome guests! Amanda Deibert & Cat Staggs have worked together many times (despite my rookie question to start the episode), and they're teaming up once again on The Powerpuff Girls Halloween Special #1, out 10/23 from Dynamite Entertainment.
I ask the pair what it's like being coworkers in the same house, how they each navigate separate careers in comics, and what we can expect from their Powerpuff Girls story.
