Norm Feuti’s Gil to launch in 2012
Skip to comments
Norm Feuti, creator of the comic Retail and the webcomic Gil has announced that his Gil comic has been picked up by King Features Syndicate for a launch in January 2012. You may remember Gil was launched as a webcomic back in 2008 about a little boy from a broken family. It was a bit darker than most comics.
Here is the new description of the strip:
Meet Gil. He’s an 8-year-old kid. Gil is a bit of an underdog. He’s a little on the chubby side, and he’s usually the last kid picked at school to play dodgeball. He doesn’t have the newest toys or live in a fancy house. His parents are split up – his single mother supports them with her factory job income and his father isn’t around as often as a father ought to be. But none of these things seem to have an adverse affect on Gil’s relentless optimism and upbeat attitude.
In the months before the launch, Norm and King Features Comic Editor Brendan Burford are blogging about the developmental process of taking a comic to a syndication level.
For more information listen to Norm and Brendan talk about Gil with Tom Racine.
