About the work: |
| I got started in the video game industry in 2005, in 2006 I began making my first webcomic, Kiosk: Life in Neutral, which chronicled the daily lives of a group of mall employees. I did that for about a year and and a half, moved back down to Pittsburgh from Albany, NY, and the shift in jobs, combined with some major health issues, I stopped working on Kiosk for about a 3 year span. Once I became a full time Freelancer, I started Kiosk up again under a soft reboot. Collected the first year of that plus a 30 page special in a trade called Kiosk: Year One. I then moved to a format with that comic that allowed for bigger story arcs, but kind of fell off updating the comic over a year ago due to a major website hack. And sadly, I haven’t been able to recover the site in full. I have plans to get it all back up and running in the new year. Sometime during that run, I got the itch to do a second comic, but which one of the dozen or so ideas I wasn’t sure of. So I kind of just began a semi autobiographical comic about my kids and how I see being a dad. I had no real plan to make it a steady ongoing thing, but it clicked with a lot people, and now #parenting is the strip I never knew I always wanted to do. |

Show Notes |
| Welcome to the show Geoff. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your work. |
| What inspired you to create Kiosk: Life In Neutral? |
| How did Kiosk change your life Geoff? |
| What advice would you give to someone looking to get into creating comics? |
| McRib. Onions or no Onions or just NO MCRIB? |
| Tell us about #parenting…the comic…. |
| What made you think about doing a second comic? |
| How much do you have to stretch the truth when writing #parenting? |
| I’m guessing, by one of your comics, that you weren’t spared the whole Frozen-mania thing. Do you have PTSD now? |
| I feel like I maybe ask this question too often, but… ever done any animation? |
| In your early strips for #parenting, you left your sketch lines visible. What was the reason, and what prompted you to change later? |
| Nice bit of Secret of NIMH fan art. Are you like me in feeling that it has never gotten enough recognition? |
| Tell us about your Illustration work. It looks like you have done some coverart for some established properties. |
