I love hearing about this kind of early(ish) development stuff! Especially since I'm currently in the midst of trying to work out where the line between "too much planning that will inevitably get thrown out once I start actually writing" and "not enough planning which will cause me to lose steam halfway through" is on a long comic project. How much long term stuff do you usually have planned out from the start, if any?

I love these insights into your process! Do you think your process would change if you weren’t also drawing the story yourself?
