Alex Deuben of Spash Pages chatted with Gabi Mendez about her Lemonade Summer! Read the whole interview here.
Alex: How did you come to comics?
Gabi: I’ve always been making comics, I think. Back in elementary school it was little hand-stapled hamtaro fan comics I’d give out to friends, in middle school it was very manga-phase love story business, and in high school my friends and I would make characters and I’d draw little slice-of-life comics about them on folded notebook paper, passing them like notes. It was in college that I realized I could actually be doing this professionally!
