Featured Guests - Stephen Lindsay and Lauren Monardo
Second only to working on comics is Lauren's love of storyboarding! Lauren's first storyboard revision job was on the World Leaders/Granada Kids production "Super Normal". From there Lauren took a storyboard/animatic position for the "League of Evil" Net 10 commercials. These experiences ultimately lead to her position as Storyboard Revisionist on the hit Cartoon Network series "Venture Bros."
So I needed a new outlet for my storytelling. One that wouldn't have me away from my family so much and one that wouldn't require constantly begging for funding. It was around that time that I rediscovered comics. Books like 30 Days of Night, The Goon and The Walking Dead really opened my eyes to where comics had gone since I stopped reading them as a kid. And I was impressed. Really impressed. So I decided to see if I could make a comic happen. Luckily, I live in the wonderful world of the Internet and was able to connect with terrific artists from all over world. So that's how it all started. Where I go from here is anyone's guess. All I know is that as long as people keep reading my stuff, I'm gonna keep writing it! inspectorham.com | laurenmonardo.com | captionsandballoons.com | lasagnachildren.com

About Lauren - Lauren Monardo first splashed onto the comic scene in Jesus Hates Zombies: Those Slack Jaw Blues with friend and collaborator Stephen Lindsay. After completing three JHZ tales and additional artwork, Lauren and Stephen went on to develop their new ongoing comic The Slightly Askew Adventures of Inspector Ham and Eggs.
About Stephen - Who am I? Well, I'm a husband, a father, a writer and a fairly average dude living his life as best he can. That's about it. I was born and raised in Rochester, New York where I still live. I went to SUNY Fredonia in Western New York and graduated with a degree in English. After college I dabbled in filmmaking - writing, producing, directing and editing no-budget flicks along with my best friend Michael Bartolotta. Film will always be a love of mine, but it burned me out really quick. After a few years of constantly struggling to find the resources to try to tell the stories we wanted to tell on film, I'd had enough. But the desire to tell stories is a strong one. If it takes hold of you, you'll have the desire all your life.
