John Allison Interview - The Great British Bump Off: Kill Or Be Quilt

What do you get when you cross a beloved British baking competition show and an Agatha Christie-like mystery? The Great British Bump-Off! John Allison joins Jimmy to talk about the 4 issue series he wrote with artist Max Sarin. John talks about the development of the series, being a fan of The Great British Bake Off, and why after writing the series he doesn't think he can watch the show anymore.

The title was something John had on hand for some time until he realized it could be the perfect sequel for the further adventures of Shauna Wickle.
