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
„Der Schneemann“ und „Wenn der Wind weht“ machten ihn berühmt. Jetzt ist der britische Illustrator Raymond Briggs mit 88 Jahren gestorben: https://t.co/6pCkl2e4VC
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. 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.
RIP Raymond Briggs ❤️ What a wonderful legacy you have left us 💞 #RaymondBriggs #SnowMan #snowdog #magical #memories #walkingintheair
Man, this year has not been good for British treasures. Thank you, Raymond. You created some of the best animated moments of my childhood as well as some of the best adult animation I've seen to date.
Rest in peace. https://t.co/Xsnq4XRWSs
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 ❤ #RaymondBriggs
Saddened to hear the passing of #RaymondBriggs 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 #RIPRaymondBriggs

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...) #RIP
RIP Raymond Briggs. One of my favourite illustrators and authors. Both his kids books and his more adult work has such a wonderful mix of humour and sadness.
Creator of a host of classic characters, illustrator and writer AOI Patron Raymond Briggs has sadly died. Embracing a vast range of subject matter, from nuclear war to a flying snowman, his works will definitely live on. See our obituary https://t.co/dWAq19ydh5 #raymondbriggs
Alongside When the Wind Blows, #raymondbriggs' other deeply resonant books such as Tin-Pot Foreign General and the Old Iron Woman or Gentleman Jim are definitely worth a read. Not for young children... https://t.co/maVfoCQsgg
RIP to the great Raymond Briggs ❤️ a true icon who gave us so much joy and warmth, and so many treasured memories ☃️
