Call for Q&A questions

ITEM! I'm currently very busy finishing up the Spring Special, coördinating a secret project with Max Sarin, and doing a rare bit of "outside" work so I'm not generating much new nonsense for the Patreon. But I would love, LOVE it if you could give me some new Q&A questions to answer, because I've run out. Previous Q&As are under the Q&A tag.

I'm always happy to answer questions on writing and art process, besties and worsties (worsties within reason), and of course my hopes, dreams and aspirations. For example, I would love to be able to confidently hang a new door in a doorframe but I feel like I will go to my grave never having done it even once.

The best questions are always a pleasant surprise leading to new corridors of thought and I believe you can ask some. YOUR MOVE.

As a bribe, here's some recent thundering nonsense from my sketch dump folder.

FIG 1: I tried to recall a musician's name through the power of drawing. 

FIG 2: "Indie sleaze" cannot be real

Best food/drink (tea/biscuit?) pairing with your comics?

Is there a plan or pattern to your character's names? I ask because there seems to be some latent jokes and symbolism behind some of them. First of all, I can't believe Susan made it over 50 issues without having a "Queen of De-nile" joke thrown at her (though maybe that's more an American joke). Along the same lines, is there any meaning behind Esther's name? I mean all the guys want her, massive alcohol consumption trails in her wake and I'm sure some folks getting impaled on stakes has been in the realm of possibilities with all the trouble that seems to follow her.
