He told evening presenter Anita Anand that as a precocious teenager he always wanted to be a political cartoonist – but ended up drawing Bananaman and Beryl the Peril. (Not quite the same gulf as the poor guy who wanted to be a pilot but ended up an estate agent, it must be said!)

Introduction This paper focuses on the contemporary Scottish poet Jackie Kay and the comic strip ‘The Broons’ by studying Jackie Kay’s representation of this family in contrast to its characterisation in the comic strip. 1 This study presents a brief introduction to Jackie Kay and ‘The Broons’ and pays attention to Kay’s referential portrayal of this Scottish family in five of her poems: ‘Maw Broon Visits a Therapist’ (2006a, p.46-47), ‘Paw Broon on the Starr Report’ (2006a, p.57), ‘The Broon’s Bairn’s Black’ (2006a, p.61), ‘There’s Trouble for Maw Broon’ (2005, p.13-14) and ‘Maw Broon goes for colonic irrigation’ (unpublished). 2 Each of the poems will be approached stylistically by using the advantages offered by corpus linguistics methodology; in particular, the program Wordsmith Tools 3.0.

  • Fudge the Elf
    1 Fudge The Elf Ken Reid The Laura Maguire collection Published October 2019 All Rights Reserved Sometime in the late nineteen nineties, my daughter Laura, started collecting Fudge books, the creation of the highly individual Ken Reid. The books, the daily strip in 'The Manchester Evening News, had been a part of my childhood. Laura and her brother Adam avidly read the few dog eared volumes I had managed to retain over the years. In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al. For various reasons I have decided to take the existing website off-line. The PDF faithfully reflects the entire contents of the original website.

The exhibition has been programmed in partnership with DC Thomson to celebrate the 80th anniversary of The Broons and Oor Wullie. The invited artists, Rabiya Choudhry, Rob Churm, Craig Coulthard, Malcy Duff, Hideyuki Katsumata and Sofia Sita, have each visited the DC Thomson archives and are exhibiting their own individual takes on the rich cultural history of our city’s publishing. The exhibition features murals, prints, drawings, sculpture and video alongside archive material. ARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION RABIYA CHOUDHRY Edinburgh-based artist Rabiya Choudhry’s work takes inspiration from childhood memories and subconscious dreams. She has created new work for the exhibition loosely based on her own family and inspired by DC Thomson’s riotous comic strip The Numskulls, about a team of tiny human-like technicians who live inside people’s heads and run their bodies and minds. Choudhry’s own comic creation, The Coconuts, is the basis for a new pair of paintings in homage to The Numskulls. The paintings are titled dream baby dream and houses for the holy, in reference to songs by the bands Suicide and Led Zeppelin respectively.

  • 548 Jackie Kay's Language in Her Poetic Illustration Of
    JACKIE KAY’S LANGUAGE IN HER POETIC ILLUSTRATION OF THE BROONS: A CORPUS-BASED CONTRASTIVE STUDY Mª del Coral Calvo Maturana1 Universidad de Granada Abstract: The aim of this essay is to observe to what extend the contemporary Scottish poet Jackie Kay uses the language in the Scottish comic strip ‘The Broons’ so as to create the poetic voices in five of her poems, in which reference is made to the characters in this comic strip. For this purpose, we use these five poems as our main corpus and compare it to a source corpus, which includes fifty comic strips. Using the programs ‘Wordsmith’ (Scott, 1999) and ‘W-matrix’ (Rayson, 2008), key words and concordances in the poems are studied. This work highlights a different lexical selection in the poems in contrast to the comic strips as regards the topics, the use, or the presence of Scottish terms. This divergence arises due to Jackie Kay’s new representation of the characters as well as the transgression of the traditional values that the comic preserves. Key words: Jackie Kay, The Broons, Scotland, corpus stylistics, contrastive study, culture I. INTRODUCTION This essay studies Jackie Kay’s language in her representation of The Broons. The aim is to analyse whether Jackie Kay reproduces the lexis in the comic strip so as to create the poetic voices. The Broons is a very famous comic strip in Scotland which has been published since 1936. It represents a traditional Scottish family as regards not only their values but also their language and customs. In contrast, the poems place the comic characters in unexpected and humorous situations, breaking both their traditional values and their stereotypical representation in the comic strip.
