Is Dirdy Birdy about (sexual?) harassment? It kind of reminded me of guys who can't take a hint. Are we supposed to be on Birdy or the cat's side? Or neither?
Did you want Courage to be more like its original short or did you like the changes it went through (in terms of visuals, dialogue) from short to series? Did you go to the Oscars when the short was nominated! Do you consider the nomination to be one of your greatest accomplishments?
(I backed a little bit to your Kickstarter!)

Hey Gregg, Tom--you were both in one of my favorite video games, Spyro (in 2,3 and I think "4") where you were Spyro (a purple dragon) & Hunter (a bipedal archer tiger)? I seriously loved that game! Do either of you have any memories or cool stories of working on those? If you can't remember, feel free to skip over!
Mr. Kenny-- Quick question--are you in the new Bee & Puppycat shorts coming out in the summer (I loved the one from last summer!)? Ignore this if you can't talk about it.
I'm really enjoying Wander Over Yonder! I've loved Craig McCracken's work in the past (Powerpuff & Foster's)! He called you "his good luck charm" (https://twitter.com/CrackMcCraigen/status/369210103628451840) in reference to being the one actor who's a supporting role in all 3 shows. I think cartoonists seem to really like working with you in general, Joe Murray and Genndy Tartakovsky having cast you in more than one of their shows, and Derek Drymon and Aaron Springer (both from Spongebob) casting you in pilots that didn't develop any further (I loved both Danger Planet and Korgoth, respectively!).
Not really sure how to make that paragraph into a question, but I think it's really cool you get to work with Craig & Genndy (and others) on multiple occasions! Did you remember working on Dexter's Lab, wasn't it one of your first? I think it's cool you were in a bit of Samurai Jack & Sym-Bionic Titan!
Also, I really loved Winnie the Pooh! Saw it with my friend on opening weekend! Mr. Cummings was great in it too!

Both of you, which voice actors do you like working with?
Gregg, how did you discover voice-over (when pursuing acting)? (I've heard Tom tell his story, I want to hear yours!)

One of the things I like about Steven Universe is it offers what I love about anime but it's still very "American" about it. But it's thing I consider to be universal, like character development, altering the status quo and a great score. Do you do that intentionally? Are you sort of trying to make it "like" an anime in terms of not trying to "be Japanese" but in terms of being more fleshed out?

Rebecca! I've loved your art since about 2007! I read Pug Davis a few years ago and was really moved by it--it's probably one of my favorite single volume comics! Do you think if Steven Universe is more popular, maybe it could get a reprint? I really want to own it!
Also, I noticed you don't use many voice actors who do animation on a regular basis, or at least haven't yet (aside from Dee Bradley Baker), even though there were many on Adventure Time. Is that deliberate?
Most episodes seem very Steven-centric, will there be any from the Gems' POV in the future?
I iTunes'd every episode so far because I was afraid the show wouldn't get a 2nd season! Congrats on 52 half-hours!
