I'll be putting the new Sublo and Tangy Mustard #15 up this Thursday. I planned to release it a few weeks ago but with everything going on in the world, it didn't seem like the right time.

But for now, here's an interview I did recently with my old college. See how desperately I'm in need of a haircut and watch me struggle to wake up-- it was early in the morning since we're on different coasts and I didn't know it was gonna be a video interview! I talk about making Sublo and Tangy Mustard, Fester Fish, my experiences in college and getting into the industry, and how the animation industry is being affected by the pandemic. There are some shots from the next Sublo episode sprinkled in here and there so consider yourself warned!

In our interview with Aaron, he discusses the challenges of working during the Covid-19 pandemic, current releases and new projects, how the training he received at MTM has prepared him for a career in animation, as well as how his personal projects have gotten him the recognition and career opportunities that took him from Toronto to Los Angeles.
