Writer and Cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt

Lisa Hanawalt is a writer, cartoonist, and author of four brilliant books, including “Hot Dog Taste Test” and “My Dirty Dumb Eyes.” You may be familiar with her work on the popular animated Netflix series “BoJack Horseman” where she was a producer. Hanawalt is also the creator of the animated series “Tuca & Bertie” which stars Tiffany Haddish, Ali Wong, and Steven Yuen. The show will be starting its second season in June on Adult Swim. In 2019, we talked with Lisa about how intuitive creating “Tuca & Bertie” was at times, on deciding what to ground in reality and where to take flight, and why she should be allowed to ride Martha Stewart’s pony.
