The new comic strip will be written by DC Comics veteran Kelley Puckett and illustrated by Gloomers artist Scotland Barnes.
According to Gloomers CEO Dan Mechem: “We are delighted to have a writer of Kelley’s stature to write the Gloomers weekly comic strip. The comic is a great addition to The Gloomers brand vision. And Scotland Barnes is the perfect illustrator for us, with his whimsical, Gloomers-esque style.”
And remember, no matter how bad your day has been, the Gloomers day is always worse.
