In the making of She Dwarf, I’ve written several songs and poems as a way an exercise in in-world world-building. What’s fun about this is that each song or poem has a limited point of view specific to the in-world character who wrote it. Rather than write out a bullet-pointed list of events that definitely happened that way in the history of the comic, I can explore how certain people feel about what they perceive the events to have been. Also, it’s fun to write awful poetry.
