Brighty: Another sad loss, which demanded commemoration by pen. Amidst the sadness, this was pure joy to draw. I make no apology for any over-sentimentality, since he was the master of sentimentality - political cartoon gallery in London https://t.co/dePcTdnXF6

Another very sad loss today, which demanded commemoration by pen. Amidst the sadness, this was a pure joy to draw. I make no apology for any over-sentimentality, since he was the master of sentimentality in all he created.

Godspeed, Raymond Briggs.

Raymond Briggs, author & illustrator of our favorite books, the globally adored 'The Snowman,' has passed away. Mr. Briggs was a caring, fun-loving man with a wicked sense of humor and a wall in his office dedicated to the art sent by children inspired by his work.

So sad to learn that a Raymond Briggs has passed away. Such a homely comfy and comforting illustrator . My children adored Fungus the Bogeyman . They are in their forties now and reading his stories to their children. National Treasure Status

Con el fallecimiento de Raymond Briggs muere uno de los grandes historietistas europeos, creador de una de las mejores Novelas Gráficas del siglo XX: Cuando el viento sopla (1982)
Espero que el paso del tiempo no oculte su importancia para el lenguaje del cómic

RIP Raymond Briggs.

Jim and Hilda, dying slowly from radiation, climbing into their bags and waiting for someone to come save them is the kind of thing that stays with you but also creates a life-long distrust in government. Not as relevant today of course. Ahem.

RIP Raymond Briggs. He delighted kids with Fungus the Bogeyman and The Snowman, and terrified adults with When the Wind Blows and The Tin Pot Foreign General. And he always did so with a rare genius. One of our greatest cartoonists.

There are a few books which are obviously for small children, but I don’t usually think about whether a book is for children or adults.
- Raymond Briggs. Saddened to hear that the author & illustrator of such books as The Snowman has passed.

Such sad news today about the passing of Raymond Briggs. A true pioneer in the world of children's books. He will be remembered by generations to come through his books that will be passed down from family member to family member ❤

Saddened to hear the passing of such a massive influence on myself artistically as a child growing up.

Whether the brutal undoing that is When the Wind Blows or the perfect dream of childhood that is The Snowman, he was a massive inspiration and he'll be missed by so many.
Rest in peace, Raymond Briggs x

Very sad at the loss of Raymond Briggs.
His unique, honest and quietly powerful creations are such a big part of so many childhoods.
He created a snowy thread that has run through my entire career.

Thank you and

The work of Raymond Briggs was something I loved as a child, and then grew to appreciate in a new way as I grew up. This image is from Ug, a book I missed at first but shared with my daughter (who loves it, of course...)
