This was a very fun interview.  I got to ask Heather about how she draws, the inspiration for Hathor, and the time she baked breastmilk bread with 150 college students.  Bonus knock-knock joke at the end!

This one is a bit long, but I just couldn’t bear to edit it down more.  It was such a fun and interesting conversation.

You can listen right here using the player below, or download it.
