Stinky Bottle Man was the product of a mega-class of 60 pupils (I can usually only work with a maximum class size of 30). One group (Oxford class) got a comic containing their strips, and the other (Middlesex class) got one containing their strips. It's hard work, and I've never done a group comic in that way before (they get commensurately less individual attention from me and half don't get their caricatures drawn) but it's quite satisfying to see I can pull off such a feat.
The celebrities they chose for the "treading on a worm" routine were Miley Cyrus, Gary Barlow, Simon Cowell (twice), Niall Horan, and Katy Perry.
