Ken & Beth Mitchroney Beth Mitchroney began her connection with comic books using her size 12 brush to ink “big black spots” on pages drawn by her husband, Ken Mitchroney.
When their studio, Last Laff, was contracted to adapt Robert Asprin’s novel, “MythConceptions,” into comic book form, Beth used her journalism training to write the eight scripts in 16 days. She later wrote scripts for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures” as well.
Mirage Studios hired her to handle the TMNT fan mail and to provide watercolors for special edition compilations of their “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures” stories. She also has drawn special pages and provided watercolor backgrounds for covers of the comic book “Ren and Stimpy.”
In animation, she has contributed storyboards and scripts for such series as “Back to the Future” and “Disney’s Timon and Pumba’.
Ken Mitchroney is well known as a comic book artist and animation director who has worked on feature films from Toy Story 2 to the Lego Movie. He has also worked on animated television shows including Tiny Toon adventure, Animaiacs and Planet Sheen.
His work on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Adventures comics, and Ren and Stimpy for Marvel Comics, are some of his notable achievements during his long comic book career. He is also a storyboard and live action director that still takes time to run steam trains at Redwood Valley Railway in Tilden park.
