Metaphrog is the collective pseudonym of John Chalmers and Sandra Marrs. They have been self-publishing comics since 1995, gradually building a loyal following and garnering critical acclaim. They started working as Metaphrog to create something that was genderless. The comic they first published in 1995, 'Strange Weather Lately', was drawn by Sandra and scripted by John, though the ideas were collaborative. 'Strange Weather Lately' turns on the existential adventures of Martin Nitram, an unpaid theatre worker engaged in an attempt to mount a cursed play. Other works of Metaphrog include 'The Maze' and 'Louis, Red Letter Day'.
