Apple Potter

My son, Otto, is very keen on comics. He loves the old-school ones – Asterix, Tintin, Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes – as well as new ones – Dav Pilkey, Lunch Lady and Kazu Kibuishi. He spends hours reading them and giggling. He is always offering me suggestions as to what I could do for my apple blog, and has been nagging me for a while to do one about Harry Potter as a wizard apple.

‘Why don’t you do it for me?’ I said.

‘Okay, I will.’ Otto got out his felt-tip pen and quickly drafted his strip.

‘Do you want to do a neater version?’

‘No, this is fine.’

‘What’s that scribbly bit?’

‘They’re battling with their wands.’

‘And what’s the Robot doing?’

‘Can’t you see? He’s eating Harry Potter.’

So. Here you go. Presenting ‘Apple Potter’ by Otto Lane.
