That looks so cute

Thanks! I think it's really fun, if I do say so myself!

Looks fabulous! Congratulations💫! Btw I always mention the Beano in my author talks as my favourite read as a child.

hughraine.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thanks, Lesley! So do I! Which feels a bit funny when I'm a contributor, but I've just always loved it and everyone else's work in there still cracks me up!

It's a wonderful, wonderful thing. My third book was featured in a competition in there and I cried. A huge career highlight! I'm even excited to be chatting to you (sorry if that's weird).

Oh, I'm still starstruck by The Beano myself! And I still haven't visited the office yet! 🤦‍♂️

My favourite Beano strip. I love how relentlessly absurd it is. Is this book a chronological collection from the start of your work on the strip, or a more ‘random’ collection of pages?

hughraine.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thanks, Craig! I've been asked about collections for years and now here we are!
They're a random smattering, with a new intro story and artworks. And it smells good!

I honestly find it astonishing how poorly DCT has made use of its archive, not least given the clear appetite for collections from kids. (The Phoenix figured this out long ago, doubly so when it changed the format to chunky books.) I hope yours does really well.
