Segment: Interview: Scott Hoffman - Wag #1 out September 5th, issue 2 October 3, 2023

1. Wag is the kind of story that feels fully realized right out of the gate, how long has this project been in the works and tell us what it’s about.
2. Artist Juan Bobillo is doing some interesting things with layout, can you talk about your process with them on this project?
3. I find that Wag is less about “what happened” and more about “what’s next.” Do you find end of the world stories to be more interesting when they’re not bogged down in a ton of exposition?
4. I have to ask, there are blue birds that pop up in Wag, any connection to Twitter iconography?
5. Wag has a mantra he repeats throughout to center himself. Do you find those help you in your daily life?
6. Wag is a five-issue series, with four more to go, what are some themes you’re tackling ahead?
7. You said in your AIPT interview Nostalgia tackled the question why are we so profoundly interested in rock stars? Do you find you’re mining elements from your time with the Scissor Sisters in Wag as well?
8. With Nostalgia done and Wag underway, do you have a “trilogy” of series planned?
9. Where can folks find you on the internet?
