About
The Short Story
Zac Gorman writes, draws and in general maintains every minor detail of Montgrave from his small apartment in Berkeley, CA where he lives with his girlfriend Suzy and their cat She-Ra.
The Whole Shebang
He was born in Detroit, MI in 1984. Growing up in the surrounding suburbs, Zac spent most of his childhood playing with friends, watching cartoons, drawing superheroes, reading comicbooks, playing videogames and in general being extraordinarily happy.
His first comic strip was called “Fuzz Muffin” and ran in his high school newspaper. The strip was basically a rip-off of Matt Groening’s Life in Hell series and it was fairly well-received by the stoners, nerds and geeks with whom he associated.
Later in life, after making the long, grueling transition into adulthood (and resisting every single step of the way) he got a job doing graphic design for a tech start-up where he made money by pushing pixels around a page. Money which he would then turn around and feed to the monstrous student loans he had amassed while at art school.
It was while at this job that he created Montgrave.
About Montgrave
Montgrave can be best summed up in one word, fun.
This is the unrelenting spirit that drives Montgrave. The idea that life is not intended to be lived with your shoulders slumped, shuffling around from place to place like a zombie but instead to be faced headlong with wide-eyed excitement, enthusiasm and wonder.
Montgrave is about humor, adventure and fun.
Also, it is occasionally about fart jokes.
