Lisa Hanawalt, the production designer of “BoJack Horseman”, returns with a series about two 30-something bird-women
LISA HANAWALT started making comics when she was six. She was drawn to animals from the start—both her parents were biologists at Stanford University—but her creations were cartoonish and anthropomorphised rather than lifelike. There were donkeys, dog-people and cat-people, usually wearing patterned sweaters, but horses were a particular favourite. “I REALLY Like Horses,” she wrote aged 11. “I want to be famous for drawing Horses someday.
Now Ms Hanawalt has created “Tuca & Bertie”, an animated series of her own . Wildlife, once again, provided the creative animus. Ms Hanawalt watched a documentary about toucans and was amused by the selfishness of the bird, which uses its long beak to steal and eat eggs from other nests. She began drawing comic-strips about Tuca, a toucan-woman. In one short sketch, Tuca builds a lavish nest, readying it for an egg. But when the egg is laid, she loses interest, letting her nest disintegrate.
