We give a description of the Milnor fiber and the monodromy of a singularity of the form \(f+zg = 0\), where f and g define germs of plane curve singularities and have no common components. In particular, this gives a description of the boundary of the Milnor fiber. The description depends only on the topological type of the two plane curve germs defined by f and g. As a corollary, we give a simple formula for the monodromy zeta function and the Euler characteristic of the fiber in terms of an embedded resolution of f and g.
