Sergio Aragonés goes monthly with Bongo

Bongo Comics has announced a monthly title by Sergio Aragonés.

The celebrated cartoonist and Groo the Wanderer creator will write and illustrate Sergio Aragonés Funnies, which was teased earlier in the year by Bongo's Bill Morrison, reports Robot 6.

"Sergio Aragonés's Funnies is a new ongoing series that not many people may know about, but it's coming from Bongo Comics this year and will most likely premiere at Comic-Con International San Diego," he told Comic Book Resources.

"As the book's editor, I hope I'm not coming off as self-serving by mentioning it here, but I'd be talking about it anyway, just as a Sergio fan! This book will be completely written and drawn by Sergio and will be unrelated to The Simpsons. He'll continue to write and draw Simpsons stories as well, but this will just be Sergio doing what he does best; drawing the funniest cartoons in the universe."

Bongo is headed by Simpsons creator Matt Groening, and is best known as the publisher of the tie-in comic to Fox's animated series.

Aragonés has contributed to the publisher's comics before, working on Bart Simpson in 2009.
