secretcherimaybe asked: How long does it take for you to do research for a comic and how long does it take for you to make a comic?

This depends on the comic!  Research can be anywhere from a day to a couple days, sometimes longer and more spread out.  If it is something I am familiar with, I have my bearings already and can dive in the direction I am looking for.  If it is something new to me, there is a lot of general reading about the person, place and time just to get a sense of where to go, then it gets more specific.  In the end, the comics may be very silly and not have a look of a lot of research, but I read a lot.  Then drawing the comic will take a couple of days, because I am very slow at it, and even I don’t know why.
