Is Saint Oswald of Worcester the patron saint of squirrels? He appears to be the only saint depicted with a squirrel. I asked my parish priest but he kicked me out of church right in the middle of his homily. I thought you could ask Squirrel Girl. Or maybe T-Rex. He seems smart. And Pious. https://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2011/02/st-oswald-of-worcester-monastic.html
Ryan North With the authority of a Guy Who Writes A Talking Squirrel Comic, I say: sure, absolutely!!

Will there be more Dinosaur Comics printed collections or is that no longer fiscally viable?
Ryan North I'd like to make more! The problem with self-publishing is it takes up a lot of time and I haven't managed to make it yet. But they're my precious babies and I love them (the comics, not - not the concept of time itself)

How often does the art in the comics you write for surpass your expectations and/or surprise you?
Ryan North Pretty much always! I always have an idea of what a page could look like when I write it, but when I get pencils back it's a surprise to see how much BETTER everything looks. It's the best part of the job, seeing the stories you've written illustrated for the first time.

Ryan North, will you solemnly promise to NEVER stop writing the captions at the bottom of the pages in Squirrel Girl comic books, because although it probably doubles the reading time, it also doubles the enjoyment?!
Ryan North THIS I SWEAR. Also, they're there BECAUSE they double the reading time! Comics is, I believe it's fair to say, a NOT-INEXPENSIVE hobby, and the more jokes I can cram in there, the better value it is for your comics-reading dollar!

In a Squirrel Girl-Adventure Time crossover, who would Doreen Green hit it off with best?
Ryan North Princess Bubblegum. They're both really smart, and by the end of it Bubblegum would know computer programming and Doreen would know how to create life out of candy. Probably it's best they haven't met, come to think of it...
