This resource contains a panel discussion, in which Danny Katz and Mitch Vane talk with Mark Macleod about their inspiration for writing and illustrating, the collaboration process and the development of characters. They also give advice to aspiring writers and illustrators. Danny reads from their picture book The Little Lunch Games, while Mitch recreates one of the amusing illustrations.
