These comics, above and below, are the product of the pupils in my Comic Art Masterclasses in schools in Woodbury Salterton Devon, Doncaster, Knaresborough, Chortlton-Cum-Hardy and Ripon. By the end of each session they each go away with a comic containing a strip by every single one of them, plus a caricature by me. When I play the "steps on a worm" comic strip demonstration game as part of the class, I ask them to name a real-live-living famous celebrity. Who did this lot variously name? You can see below the next selection...
The celebrities these twelve classes named (in every case whittled down from a choice of four names) were: Selena Gomez (twice), Simon Cowell (three times), Ke$ha, The Queen, Michael Jackson, Rowan Atkinson, Lady Gaga, and most original suggestions of the week Rolf Harris and Slash out of Guns & Roses.
If you're developing a taste for this kind of thing, there's a whole archive of Comic Art Masterclass comics on my website, including these choice examples and many more...
