If A Pumpkin Could Camouflage - yet more kids comics + some flipcharts


The half term week of classes in libraries across the country continued with this assortment of comics, the titles suggested by kids, the covers drawn by me, in Comic Art Masterclasses from Wakefield to Woolwich, Greenwich to Rickmansworth.


 What do you think, have I got into a bit of a rut with the flipcharts I've been drawing before my classes start? I should imagine the popularity of K Pop Demon Hunters will have waned by the end of term and I'll be back to struggling to find a familiar central character that they all immediately recognise. I can tell you Minnine The Minx is definitely not that character any more. Loads of kids have never heard of Beano.


I was in Airedale Library in the morning and Pontefract Library in the afternoon, but they all count as Wakefield. An almost four hour drive up in the morning, followed by an almost four hour drive down to Woolwich afterwards. The things I do, eh?


For these two classes, at Woolwich and Greenwich libraries, I took the gamble of organising the tickets myself. In the end we sold 16 in the morning and 9 in the afternoon, so I took a little less than I would at my usual daily rate. But then they bought books afterwards, so it's all swings and roundabouts.


Watersmeet Arts Centre in Rickmansworth was another doorsplit, but this time we had two sellouts, with 29 kids in each class at twenty quid a ticket. And ain't I mercenary? A fun week of classes, with a bumper amount of comics sold to parents too, a happy end to the month.

The celebs these six groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Mr Beast (twice), Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, George Washington and Tom Holland.

Library Of Doom - more comics by kids


Eeh, October has been a busy month for classes, as is borne out by the number of comics I've sold to kids and parents afterwards. And this year I managed a record breaking six solid days in a row throughout Half Term, beginning with a talk at Great Malvern Festival Of Stories (not represented here), then five days in libraries across the country, of which this batch includes part one.


At Shenley Brook End I did another special project with Anouar Kassim of the Milton Keynes Islamic Association. The kids did two days of sessions, producing work on a special subject that we'll be collecting into a magazine in the new year. As a bit of fun, we started the session with my usual class and made this fun comic to take away.


My week of libraries began in the Library Of Birmingham, slap bang in the middle of the city. Great kids, great classes. But memo to self: never park in The Mailbox! It takes you an hour to get out!


Tuesday saw me at two libraries in Neath: Skewen in the morning and Glynneath in the afternoon. Two fab productions by great groups of kids.

The celebs these five groups (plus Sunday's audience in Malvern) chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Donald Trump, King Charles (twice), and Alan Carr.
