Comics created with kids this month in schools and art centres, hither, thither and thon. And my, hasn't Donald Trump been a popular choice this month?
Ropetackle Shoreham was actually in May, and what a lovely pair of titles, eh?
Chelmsford Museum was a one off class and a treat
Godstowe Prep only had me in for a one off class, but then managed to buy 31 copies of Romeo and Juliet, despite there only being 30 of them in the class. Well done Godstowe.
By contrast, Riverbridge, Staines, had me in for a day and a half, teaching 90 kids, and ended up buying no books. The kids wanted them, the office had other ideas. I’ve ranted about it on Facebook, I needn’t repeat myself here. Good classes, great kids. Shame about the books.
Riverbridge Day 2. See above.
The celebrities these seven (plus I've added the two mini classes I did at the Big Malarkey Festival in Hull, who didn't produce comics) groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Donald Trump, Justin Bieber, Cristiano Ronaldo (twice), Kim Kardsahian, Taylor Swift, Harry Kane, and Michael Jackson (twice).

This is for you, Kev.
How do you feel about some of the kids that intend your masterclasses of today's generation losing interest in cartoons and animation entirely in-favour for other mediums? (and when i meant other mediums, i literally mean AI Slop on YouTube and TikTok).
Do You Think the kids are getting bad influence and should deserve better mediums in-favour for a better childhood?
Hi Squirrelzilla, I don't think there's such a thing as a bad medium, just what you do with it. So kids could have great stuff on TikTok and rubbish comics available.
Luckily, in recent years, I find they've had more good comics material around, and they get a lot of good stuff from Youtube and the other media. None of them's lost interest in comics, manga or animation as far as I can see.
AI slop is worrying but interesting, and too soon to say where it's going. I'm optimistic.
From What I’ve Heard, It’s Technically Only an American Thing and thankfully isn’t a UK Thing.
