"Westfield: How did you feel when you first saw Karl Moline's art for Fray? Whedon
: I love it. I'm pretty blown away by it. We've definitely gone back and forth on a
couple of things, conceptual things. There're certain things that I stress that he
doesn't. We're feeling each other out in that sense. But I think his pencils are
really lovely. His character stuff is really beautifully detailed. I love Melaka. I love

"I would like to thank my teacher, mentor and friend Dr David Lavery, for inviting
me to bring my lifelong love of television out of the closet, and for once asking out
