We wanted the book [Paper Girls] to feel to evoke the \'80s, but not necessarily feel that it was drawn then.

Quotes from the same author

Matt Wilson, the colorist, has this great palate [in Paper Girls] that brings up all these emotions and this feel of the '80s without being actually as kind of as bright and primary as it could have been.
 Cliff Chiang
The '80s were a really different time for kids.Technology has changed so much of how we stay in touch and keep tabs on people.
 Cliff Chiang
It starts with the writing. We have to think of all these characters - we have to treat them all equally. We have to think of them as having an interior life and having motivations. When I'm drawing female characters, I'm looking for that. I'm looking for subtext. I'm looking for ways to make the reader relate to them in a way that goes beyond the pure aesthetic value. You know, just drawing an attractive woman really gets kind of boring after a while.
 Cliff Chiang
What I like about Paper Girls in particular is that because we're approaching it more from a female perspective, we're able to consider the emotional states of these characters a little bit more, and think more of their interiority.
