Here’s my chat with Jason Loo. Podcast available on Apple Podcasts and player.FM.
Jason is the creator of The Pitiful Human-Lizard – Toronto’s newest superhero who during the day works a boring 9-to-5 office job then struggles to fight crime on evenings and weekends.
During our chat, Jason talked about celebrating the 5th anniversary of The Pitiful Human-Lizard. He commented on the possibility of his creation making an appearance in another medium perhaps on TV. Jason also offered insights about his future plans including the collection of The Pitiful Human-Lizard making an appearance at the upcoming Toronto Comic Arts Festival.

Multiversity Comics recently interviewed Cecil Castellucci about her current run on Female Furies. When asked about why it’s important to tell stories like those from Female Furies, Cecil said: “I think it’s important because, there are a lot of people on the planet who have not had their stories told. Have not been the center of their stories. I think that the great thing about stories is that there’s room for all stories.”
