Brad Gilchrist
Brad has lived in Connecticut all of his life. On the subject of Brad's cartooning career, he began working with his brother, Guy in 1977- the summer after graduating from Avon High School. They created four years of Superkernel Comic books for the Weekly Reader in Middletown and played on the Xerox Softball team there. Guy and Brad created the Jim Henson's Muppets comic strip, which ran in 700 newspapers worldwide from 1981-1986. In 1995, Guy and Brad took over production of Ernie Bushmiller's classic comic strip, Nancy®. Guy does all the art and Brad writes the gags. Many of the ideas for Nancy® come from having daughters who keep Brad informed and up to date on "girls stuff." On the personal side, Brad has a wonderful wife, Bethany, two girls, Jayme & Carly, and a multitude of pets. They all continue to be a driving force behind Brad's creativity and features. Brad is currently working with friend and fellow cartoonist, Peter Menice, on a comic strip project called, The Green House. Brad and Beth have a passion for the environment and conservation issues, and hope that The Green House will be a successful way of bringing the concept of environmental consciousness to a large readership.
