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.

[Paper Girls] is very much is about how we are thinking about our past and growing up.

I don't think I've ever worked on a project [Paper Girls] that is this personal. We draw so much on our memories of growing and we're putting so much of our present day into it as well.
