I'm no expert on writing, but people have asked what my process is for Sublo & Tangy Mustard so here's a pretty in-depth post! I hope there's some helpful stuff in it.

I'm an animator from Toronto. I'm probably best known online for my indie series Sublo and Tangy Mustard, and my older cartoon Fester Fish. In my day job in the animation industry I've directed on Bojack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, Triptank and more.

Sublo and Tangy Mustard Writing Process
Comments
Always fun to read such behind-the-scenes stuff! As an aspiring writer all the more interesting, and as for not being an expert: I'd say this proves you're more of that than most. What many good shows here really lack is a coherent script. It might be random and fun even after just a quick session of brainstorming, but with revision like this it could be wholesome in a whole other way, I feel.
PCR is the one thing I recognize here, everything else seems derived from experience, so that's great to read. The unsatisfying ending though... I feel like it works for Sublo and Tango, who don't really seem to care, but maybe not always for side-characters. It's good when things are going good for people... though maybe that's just something you always want but don't fully appreciate when you get... hmm, wouldn't want to destroy a good characteristic (bad as it is) with unrevised advice. Thanks for sharing this anyway! Good read.

Thanks, this is quite useful. I've been thinking about writing scripts for cartoons, but I don't have any experience with it, so having something to look at is good (specially being the method to write a series which I enjoy a lot).

I'm glad it's useful! I may write more posts about planning an overall series as opposed to the individual episode process outlined here.
