Raymond Briggs
' Fungus is me '. the creator of the world's favourite bogeyman tells Paul Vaughan. The controversial illustrator and cartoonist Raymond BRIGGS admits to transferring his gloomy view of life to his other creations so beloved of children and their parents - the Irascible Father Christmas
(' Blooming chimneys! Blooming snow! ') and the naive, doomed
Gentleman Jim who faces nuclear holocaust in When the Wind Blows. A pessimist by nature.
Briggs's favourite saying is: ' Re-member, that light at the end of the tunnel is probably an oncoming train.'
Producer ricuakd dunn (When the Wind Blows: The Monday Play, next Mon 8.0 pm)
