These comics are the fruits of two days in a row at St Barnabas school, and its neighbour Kirmington, in North Lincolnshire. I stayed over in Brigg, which is a pretty little place. I'm particularly happy with the cover for Cobsick Planet Of Poo Poo, which is not only a great title, but which coloured up nicely.
I do all this colouring in spare moments in the evening after each class and, honestly, waste a little more time on them than is truly justified. It's not like we're ever going to make a best selling coffee table book out of these babies. But once you've started something like this, it's hard to stop. I hope the kids appreciate the after-care they're getting for free there.
Furze Down school in Bucks is for kids with special educational needs, making it all the more delightful when they achieve the final results which they did here. Their comic strips are tucked away inside, a taste of which you can see in the doodles they add to the covers. The titles are all theirs.
The celebrities these six group chose to star in the demonstration strip that I draw on the flipchart were Donald Trump, Robbie Williams, Kim Kardashian, Simon Cowell (twice), and David Walliams.
