Raymond Briggs RIP (1934-2022)

The author and illustrator has died, most well known for The Snowman and more recently Fungess the bogeyman was also responsible for the anti nuclear weapons When the wind blows. The Snowman since it’s first broadcast has probably been Christmas viewing for many people. RIP

I quite liked Jim and the Beanstalk he did. A sort of follow up to Jack and the Beanstalk. I think that’s the best one he did at least that I’ve read.

RIP Mr Briggs.

RIP Raymond Briggs.

I enjoyed what I saw of his work and was rather peeved that the early news reports of his death (at least those I saw / heard) omitted to mention that he was an author as well as an illustrator.
