About Ella's Tales
Ella is a chipper, rambunctious, and eccentric 7-year-old brainiac stuck in an ordinary school and neighborhood who just can’t seem to be understood by the folks around her. Luckily, she has her neurotic but equally gifted best (and only) friend, Judy, and her not-so-grounded mom, Fran, to share her misadventures with, no matter how bizarre or mundane.
About the creator
Hi, I'm Benjamin, but I go by "Benj" for short. Making Ella's Tales is my favorite thing to do. I make the time to work on it when I'm not at my corporate day job or doing other such life things. I lose quite a bit of sleep, as you can probably tell from the content. I was never much of an artist but loved cartoons (animated or print) and dreamed of being a cartoonist, one way or another. But it wasn't until years later, at 21 years old, that I began learning how to draw and write and started creating Ella's Tales. Now, Ella's Tales is my pride and joy. I love being a cartoonist and can't imagine not being one!
Some of my influences:
- Tom Yohe (Schoolhouse Rock)
- Bob Clampett's WB cartoons
- Tex Avery's MGM cartoons
- Warren Foster (Looney Tunes)
- Rod Scribner (Looney Tunes)

- C.H. Greenblatt (Chowder, Harvey Beaks, SpongeBob)
- Joe Murray (Rocko's Modern Life)
- Aaron Springer (SpongeBob)
- Mark Tatulli (Heart of the City)
