“Love Me is a story everyone can read: it's about possibility, hope, and diversity. It talks about the ability to wait for and recognize the love that comes after personal fulfillment. In fact, if you are fulfilled with your life, grateful for the work you have achieved, the accomplishments you have made, and the friends you have chosen, despite the difficulties, you can leave room for true feelings even if they are scary and put you face to face with great challenges and strange emotions. Love Me is the story of all those who have been able to wait for true love, in the seat of a taxi or at a table in a bar just like what happened to me.”

"Love Me is my first romance story. It has made me more patient in constructing a story’s design, and it contains many details that I hope readers will like. I had fun inserting easter eggs into many pages of the comic (poking fun at the author Francesca a bit)!
With this series, I faced some new challenges such as: creating buildings, skylines, perspectives, and points of view different from those I was used to when creating my previous Mad Cave series, Don't Wind Spit in the Wind. The biggest difficulty was bringing out the emotions felt by a robot that has no mouth to smile or express disappointment, just a set of binoculars to look at the world."
