It's been a quiet year for Comic Art Masterclasses, for reasons it's not hard to fathom, but a satisfying one all the same, ending today with a Zoom class with Abbey School in Reading, which was one of the very first schools I visited at the start of the year. Way back in January, when the spectre of coronavirus hadn't reared its ugly wossname. They produced the first and last images above, the others coming from my final two Backwell school classes (ending a series of 8 evening classes, with years 7 and 8), and a day with pupils at Tweedmouth Middle School in Berwick (a lot easier to get to by Zoom).
The celebs these pupils chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Gordon Ramsay, Michael Jackson, Ant McPartlin, and David Attenborough (the Backwell classes didn't do the demo this time).
So, which celebrity will be the most popular with kids this year? Shouldn't take as long to tot up as previous years. The results will appear here when I've done so.
