Given the chance,Bored Pandareached out to Steve again with some new questions!Discussing how he introduces new characters into his comics, Steve shared, “Sometimes a character sort of emerges from doodles, but more often an idea will pop into my head while I’m away from the drawing board. If a character idea is persistent, and I find myself continuing to doodle or think on them, I’ll try to develop that concept. I figure it’s nagging at me for a reason!”

Reflecting on how his art style and humor have evolved since he first started “Murdercake/Skull Pizza,” the artist noted to Bored Panda, “When I first started Murdercake, I had another strip going that was more like a traditional newspaper strip, with a cast and storylines. So I wanted to have a place for random, one-off jokes that might not be as family friendly, and had simpler, black-and-white drawings. As Murdercake became my main focus, the art started to get more detailed and featured recurring characters and gags. I think that’s partly why I’ve been transitioning it to Skull Pizza, because it’s changed so much from its original form.“Oh, and to top it off, here’s an image of Kermit that the artist shared with us!
