What’s it all about, Gailard?
At least a couple of commenters have asked “OK great, so what’s actually the concept of the show?” I thought I’d made it clear at the beginning, but, obviously not. Lemme try again.
Our show is a ’sketch comedy’ starring six monsters (above, L-R: Roy, Cathy, Buck, Grandpa, Lulu, and Gailard), students all, except Grandpa, the school custodian. We’ve posted character descriptions Roy, Cathy, Buck, Lulu, and Gailard; Grandpa is coming soon. We were inspired by Louis Sachar’s Sideways Stories from the Wayside School and the UK’s The Fast Show.
The short is actually made up eight short comedy skits, each starring two of our characters. The five creative teams will each interpret the characters in their own writing and art styles: Alex Kirwan, Floyd Bishop, Dan Meth, Pat Ventura, Pen Ward, and Alan Goodman & Manny Galan.
Hopefully, it’ll be a barrel of laughs.

That’s a seriously awesome idea. I can’t imagine how “different” Pen Wards take will be in comparison to the rest. It might seem like a different show entirely wedged in between a monster show. Great sketches.

Thanks Justin. We’re as eager to see it all come together as you are.
