Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is MIGUEL PUGA! Miguel is a writer, producer, storyboard artist, and director. His work can be seen on the Loud House, Futurama, Fairly OddParents, and Casagrandes! He is also the director of the Casagrandes movie on Netflix!

While we talk, we doodle on a JAMBOARD, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, NEWGROUNDS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
