All Lit Up! E11: Lisa Hanawalt

February 25, 2026

Designer, showrunner and cartoonist, Lisa Hanawalt, discusses the making of BoJack Horseman and Tuca & Bertie, from designing a whole surreal animal universe to suddenly running a writers’ room for the first time, and learning how to deal with "joke-per-minute" notes.

If you haven't already seen Lisa's latest work, we recommend you head straight to Netflix for Long Story Short, the highly anticipated adult animation from the team behind Bojack. Season One is excellent - and Season Two is on the way!

This one’s for anyone obsessed with character-driven comedy, and the messy, collaborative craft that is adult animation.
