The last comics of term, my term that is, all schools having broken up by last weekend. These include three days of holiday classes at Backwell school, buring which I learned the word 'Yeet'. It seems to be the kids new popular word of choice and, as you'll see, it ends up being in the titles of three of their comics. I believe it's the word one shouts when one throws something, m'lud.
Again at Backwell, and more of this Yeet malarkey. Needless to say, they hadn't heard of or seen the old Weetabix bovver boys who advertised the cereal back in the day. In fact they seemed quite shocked by them when they saw a photo. It would be a bad way of selling breakfast fods nowadays, it seems.
This was a half day at Backwell, so we only produced one comic, but I did have time to draw a nice flipchart.
Flashing back a week, this was from Reach Academy in Feltham on their penultimate day of term. This was the completion of the Hounslow Histories project I carried out last month, and was a class that I'd already been paid for. Fun either way.
I had time on my day Nottingham to produce two flipcharts to leave them with. The archery-based Nottingham one was on recycled paper, so the poor kid who's taken it home can read the words of a totally different lecture bleeding through from the other side.
The celebrities these 9 groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were David Walliams, Michael Jackson, Billie Eilish, Donald Trump (three times), Boris Johnson, Simon Cowell, and James Charles.
Taking booking for the Autumn term now!
