When Dungeon Crawler Carl author Matt Dinniman and audiobook narrator Jeff Hays were recently asked about the secret to keeping a certain feline character from the series from being a joke, my first impulse was to express Donut-level outrage -- MONGO IS APPALLED! How could Princess Donut possibly ever be a joke?... And yet, as someone who's had to describe the series to people who haven't read the series, ok, I get it. "So this guy and his ex-girlfriend's cat are trying to survive this alien-run intergalactic game show, but he's barefoot and in boxers, and the cat can talk..." It's a fair question.
During the ScreenRant interview, Dinniman encouraged Hays to answer the question, and I absolutely adore his answer. Hays voices Princess Donut (along with countless other characters) for the DCC audiobooks. In addition to explaining why people don't see Princess Donut The Queen Anne Chonk as a joke, he also managed to sum up what I love so much about her.
