The Day The King Died With A Full Bladder - comics by kids

Three days, five schools, two themes. Vikings, Shakespeare, and whatever you fancy were the themes. Can you spot who came up with which?

The British Library had me back at Leeds Playhouse to day a second day of Shakespeare themed comic classes. I worked with three groups, from three different schools, but only for an hour each. So we did a differently structured class to my usual, concentrating on the Shakespearian adaptation angle. Two of the groups designed the covers themselves (or rather I took stuff they'd drawn and assembled it into a cover) and I just drew one. The image on the left is the flipchart drawing that I did, summing up the theme of the day.

Christ Church Lichfield was a first timer for me, and I'm delighted they had me in. Two lovely groups of year 4s to work with, and a couple of corking front cover ideas emerged from the process.

Malvern Parish haven't had me for a few years, so this was a pleasantly welcome return gig. They wanted their year 3 and 4s to have comics that went with their class topic of Vikings, and by golly that's what they got. 

The celebrities that the four regular classes chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Roald Dahl.
