He’s the author of a humor book about sad monsters called Sad Monsters: Growling on the Outside, Crying on the Inside and the creator of an animated series about monsters in therapy called You're Not A Monster.

You're Not A Monster
Frank is the creator, writer, and series director of this short animated series starring Kelsey Grammer, Eric Stonestreet, Aparna Nancherla, and many others.
Max Seward's patients really are the horrifying monsters they think they are ... because they really are horrifying monsters. But as this para-therapist struggles with his own demons - and his vampire great-grandfather who left him his practice - he learns that the only thing worse than being undead is being unloved.
