The artist has also shared with us that recurring themes in ‘Resons My Friends Hate Me’ “tend to be portraying myself as a villain (hence the name of the series), and the general liberal agenda. It’s mostly about self-deprecating humor.”

We were wondering how Colwell comes up with ideas for her new strips. The illustrator said: “Most comics are inspired by actual events, frequently amplified for entertainment.”

In response to our questions about influences in the world of comedy and humor, the artist mentioned: “I love certain online creators such as Rusty Creates and Mr Lovenstein.”

Lastly, we wanted Aylia to tell us what she considers a good comic. She said: “I don’t think there is anything that specifically makes a good comic, or if there are mistakes one can make in art. There’s an audience for every genre, every style, it’s just a matter of finding them. If you’re having fun making comics, then you’re doing it right.”
