Throwback Thursday: Departing with Matthew Holm

Travis: One of the most interesting parts of following graphic novel Sunny Side Up on Season 1 of The Yarn was the “departure” element of the book. Matthew and Jennifer Holm had become well known for Babymouse, but what would it be like for them to tackle a story that was very different from that well-known series?
Matthew Holm talks all about the process of creating Sunny Side Up in this episode from August 2015.
