2023's Most Popular Celebrity With Schoolkids is...


Another splendid year full of Comic Art Masterclasses has wound to a close (in fact it wound to a close in November and I was so busy doing other stuff that I didn't notice) so it's time to tot up who is the most popular celebrity with schoolkids.

You see in every one of my classes I do a demonstration strip which features a famous person. I ask the class to name someone, they suggest four names, from which we choose their favourite. I then draw the strip and they learn all there is to know about comic strip storytelling in about 20 minutes flat. Call it a gift.

But which celebrities did they choose in 2023? Let's have a good old fashioned chart rundown shall we..?

Thanks to anyone who's read these blogs of mine this year, I hope they give you some insight into the nonsense kids come up with, and the even greater nonsense I try teaching them. If anyone would like to book me to come and teach their kids, please get in touch. Just avoid World Book Day in March...and, wait a minute, this is the exact same last paragraph as last year. Why, it's as if I've realised no one ever reads these!
