Added 2020-11-18 14:13:40 +0000 UTCWe got so many creepy emails from Norm/Ashley shippers, at one point I considered killing Ashley off.
Q: Any thoughts on the upcoming 'Animaniacs' reboot?

I'm sorry that you got a lot of creepy emails from creepy shippers, but thank you for never killing Ashley off because of them.

2020-11-19 21:17:01 +0000 UTCMy take on Norm and Ashley is like this: Norm is tempted by Ashley because he is always looking for the bigger, better, deal, which is why he is never happy. Ashley isn't attracted to Norm, she's attracted to chaos, so she's only attracted to Norm when he's unavailable. We did a strip stating this because of the creepy Norm/Ashley emails. What we've never said though is that Ashley is also afraid of actual emotion, so many of the things she does are to keep some distance in her friendship with Norm, who is used to emotionally distant people due to his family, so subconsciously drawn to that. In short, they're a mess. :D

(Not that I was shipping her and Norm; I thought they might date during the period when Norm and Bridget broke up, but probably only for long enough for Norm to realize why he should get back with Bridget. Was that possibility ever considered, or was I just reading too much into things?)
