Out of the mouths of babes, the kids ideas...



As part of my Comic Art Masterclasses, I get every pupil in the class to come up with a title for the group comic which they'll take home at the end. Up to 30 ideas are handed in on bits of paper, and we vote on them until a winner is chosen.  You'll have seen some of the finished comics, bearing the winning titles, but as for the other suggestions they always wind up in the bin. This week, in Ireland, I've been hanging onto them. Here, for your edification, are the suggestions you get if you ask a collection of various First Years to name a comic book...
