If it's June then it must be a solid week of Comic Art Masterclasses. Starting with an after-school class in Neath on Monday, after which I had a tortuous drive to Manchester. The second comic is from a day long class at Backwell school on Wednesday.
Tuesday was Manchester Grammar School where the boys (and they were indeed all boys) came up with these two corkers.
Thursday and Friday saw a day and a half of classes at Ruskin Juniors in Swindon where, I was reminded, I've now been going for 11 years. Yes, my first class there was in 2008. Here, by way of comparison, are the comics I did with the kids there in 2018, in 2017, in 2016, in 2015, and in 2014.
The second day at Ruskin only had one class, in the morning, then on Saturday I had a one-off class at Prema Arts in Uley, from which came the most perplexing title of the week. As soon as the suggestion of "I Have Crippling Depression" was read out, a class full of 6 to 11 year olds decided they'd heard nothing funnier.
A couple of nifty flipcharts, from this week at Ruskin and last week at Colmore.
The celebrities these eight groups chose to star in my demonstration strip were Michael Jackson, James Charles, Freddie Mercury, Robert Downey Junior, David Beckham, Alesha Dixon, Albert Einstein and Donald Trump.
