The Rise Of Elmo - comics by kids

Three days of classes took me from Harrow to Wellington, all very classical and posh sounding. And, of course, the greatest fun.

At Claremont Academy in Harrow I worked with year 7, 8 and 9 and got the sort of comic titles you'd expect. I think we got away with the Cracky Pony. Elmo is this week's meme, it seems.

Sampford Arundel was the first of two twin schools, that share a head teacher, near Wellington in Somerset. Each school has less than fifty pupils in, so I essentially taught the whole school apart from the infants. They were smashing and came up with some excellent titles.

Stawley Primary was day two of the Wellington excursion, and gave us my two favourite cover designs of the week. Sometime a combination of inspiration and time to draw means some covers come out better than others.

The celebs these 6 groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Michael Jackson (twice), Boris Johnson, Taylor Swift, Elon Musk and David Attenborough.
