25. Tuba Player → Programmer → Eisner Nominee, Let's Play's Meteoric Rise to the Top | Chat with Mongie
Today’s guest is Mongie, the creator of the Eisner-award nominated romantic comedy webcomic Let’s Play, a story that follows Sam’s life as her video game development career collides with unexpectedly budding romance.
In today’s episode, we talk about how Mongie pivoted from playing the tuba, to developing software as a programmer, to finally taking the leap and starting Let’s Play. We also discuss Let’s Play’s meteoric rise to webcomic fame and what that meant as a digital creator, and learn about how Let’s Play is crossing over into print and into television. She even shares some practical tips for creators looking to add more heft to each episode, so don’t go anywhere.
