Thank you, Raymond Briggs. 🙌🏾
One of the giants of my childhood. What a gift to share such powerful messages with a beautifully gentle touch. 🧡
RIP Raymond Briggs. A foundational inspiration to illustrators everywhere. The texture, empathy and depth of feeling his work evokes will always be breathtaking.
The year gets worse and comics is lessened by the loss of another giant -Raymond Briggs has left us at the age of 88
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?”
R.I.P. Raymond Briggs (18 Jan. 1934 – 9 Aug. 2022)

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. #RIPRaymondBriggs
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.
RIP Raymond Briggs, author and illustrator of The Snowman, Fungus the Bogeyman and many other wonderful books https://t.co/plDKcXgTAL
Sorry to hear of the death of legendary writer and illustrator #RaymondBriggs, 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” ❤️
TIL: Raymond Briggs once wrote a children's book based on the Falklands War.
it looks like a pretty wild ride
RIP Raymond Briggs, these books were a huge part of my childhood, even his incredibly dark When The Wind Blows...!
My first Raymond Briggs book was 'Jim and the Beanstalk'. It made me laugh but also fascinated and slightly terrified me. I loved it. #RIPRaymondBriggs
