Mr Poo - more comics by kids

Another week's worth of comics, created with kids in my Comic Art Masterclasses from Hull to Nottingham to Bexleyheath.


Back in Hull for the second time in a month, and two lovely sellout groups producing two smashing comic creations.


 In Nottingham I took responsibility for selling the tickets myself, via Eventbrite. I've used them before, but not for a while, and had clearly forgotten some of the pitfalls and details. So, having two sellout classes at £10 a ticket wasn't quite the success I thought it'd be, after I realised Eventbrite took £1.50 per ticket off the top as a booking charge. For future reference, I must remember I'm able to set it up so that that's added onto the top. Whatever, the classes were great and the kids comics look marvellous. And I'm sure Eventbrite earned every penny.


The libraries in Bexleyheath and Welling had two more wonderful sellout classes, and inspired my favourite two comic covers of the day. Sometimes I can't master more than a scribble, eg that mangel wurzel on Monday's comic in Hull. But today's Mr Poo and Kung Fu Donut proved surprisingly visual, and haven't they coloured up well?

The celebritites these six groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were John Cena, Ariana Grande, Michael Jackson (twice), Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and most novel suggestion of the month Alexander Graham Bell.
