    I read somewhere that Roger Hargreaves is the UK’s best-selling author after JK Rowling and Dan Brown.

    Me and my mate Gaz had a ritual of watching the original Mr. Men series (narrated by Arthur Lowe) Sunday mornings whilst recovering from our paper rounds. Sunday rounds were the worst because the glossy supplements weighed half a tonne (not literally!).

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Mr. Men (and Little Miss) bold colours and geometric shapes somehow ended up influencing my artistic outlook.

    I also enjoyed the video. They could be useful drawing warmup exercises.

    I have great repect for anyone who can take a blank sheet of paper and 'just draw' on it, getting things right [not necessarily complicated or sophisticated] first time, it is not as easy as it looks

    Yes, you are quite right, your opinion isn't the standard that anyone else should take. I certainly don't.

    Apologies to anyone else who disagrees with my comment, Gamerprinter rubbed me up the wrong way, but I defend my right to say something nevertheless.

    I agree with your comment. I've had him on 'ignore'; try it, you'll like it.

    Wouldn't like to guess how many Mr Men books I'd repeatedly read to my two daughters over the years. Ladybird books also come to mind
