Everyone’s favorite lazy egg Gudetama is getting his own comic thanks to a partnership with Sanrio and Oni Press. Expected around Valentine’s Day 2020, the new comic Gudetama: Love for the Lazy will combine the randomness of everyday life and entertaining advice. The comic is written and drawn by Wook-Jin Clark.
“Gudetama is EVERYWHERE!” says Oni Press Editor in Chief Sarah Gaydos. “We’re totally egg-cited to bring him to the world of comics, and creator Wook-Jin Clark is the perfect collaborator. Gudetama is irreverent, relatable, and lovable, and I can’t wait for everyone to see how Wook-Jin brings those qualities to life in the comics medium”,
“I’m so pumped to be a part of this project! I still can’t get over that I get to create stories for this amazing character.” says Wook-Jin Clark. The creator, born in South Korea but raised in South Carolina, had a “love at first sight” experience with Gudetama, and that affection carries through in every page.
Gudetama: Love for the Lazy is part of at least 3 Sanrio projects that will be released yearly. It is expected to retail for $9.99.
