Rick Astley, Big Jill, Ken Dodd - comics by kids, mega-bundle

I have just had the busiest, most solid series of comic classes since before the pandemic. In the run up to the Thought Bubble comic festival in Harrogate I did 4 days on classes at schools in Thirsk, York and Leeds, then one on the way down, Ripon. The following day was a class in Bristol. The week before had seen me do a birthday party in London, classes at Iron Bridge Gorge Museum in Telford, and a special day in a library in Yiewsley near London with kids designing pumpkins (which isn't even recorded her cos they didn't make a comic). If it hadn't been for a day of classes at Prema being cancelled, and me cocking up the timing for an online class with an international class via Class Bento, I'd have even more stuff to show you from the first two weeks of November. But I think this is enough to be getting on with.

The celebrities these 8 groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Ariana Grande (3 times), Freddie Mercury, Stephen Mulhearn, Cristiano Ronaldo, Albert Einstein, and Anna Kendrick.

(Where's Ken Dood? He ended up in the next montage...)
