Job on Poptropica
Paul writes the Poptropica comic, as well as approves the art made by Kory Merritt. Here's an excerpt from an interview that he was in:"I do the writing, accompanied by thumbnails if necessary, and Kory pencils out the strips and runs them by me. I bring up any alterations that might be necessary for clarity, etc, and then he inks and colors the work. It’s been a fairly seamless collaboration thus far; Kory’s a great artist and super easy to work with."
