Very sorry to hear about Raymond Briggs, a wonderful creator who ably demonstrated the range and versatility of comics and sequential art. His work was cheeky, intelligent and fiercely compassionate. A sad day.

Grave perdita per il mondo del fumetto, dell'illustrazione, della narrativa. Ci ha lasciati ieri Raymond Briggs, autore di molti libri per bambini (come "The Snowman"), ma anche di opere decisamente più adulte e toccanti, tra cui ricordo "Quando soffia il vento".

RIP Raymond Briggs. A foundational inspiration to illustrators everywhere. The texture, empathy and depth of feeling his work evokes will always be breathtaking.

Briggs’ biggest success was “The Snowman.” He professes to actually hate Christmas and found the screen adaptation to be ‘corny.’
‘I don’t like the Christmas thing at all. It’s so full of anxiety – have I got enough stuff? Where am I going to go? What should I get for presents?”

Ha muerto el autor de uno de los cómics (con su brutal adaptación animada) que más me ha traumatizado. Y debería traumatizar a más gente. RIP Raymond Briggs.

An absolute master of comedy and comic strip, of illustration and the human spirit. I suspect he'll be happy that it's no longer blooming 'Work, work, work!' all the time 😊

RIP Raymond Briggs, whose impact - on comics, on children who read comics - simply cannot be understated. When the Wind Blows terrified me as a child, and does to the same degree today. I can’t think of any other work that can say the same.

Or drink straight from the bucket like the Elephant and the Bad Baby.

So sad to hear of the loss of Raymond Briggs. A children’s author who truly understood children and was unafraid to be honest.

“When the Wind Blows” will forever live with me in its stark honesty and power.

Ah, Raymond Briggs. He was a beautiful illustrator and storyteller, and had a profound effect on my every Christmas as a kid. I still have these books, and I still get them out every year. Hugely evocative and comforting. RIP.

Sorry to hear of the death of legendary writer and illustrator treasured and pored over his books as a child, in particular loved the way he made Father Christmas both grumpy and altruistic and therefore “real” ❤️
