Harrods “Comic Timing” Exhibition, previously featured on these pages, is continuing until 31st October.

Rich Johnston has been in touch to let us know that “after a couple of false starts (signage and some frames were delayed a week), the exhibition in a small especially darkened corner of Harrods has been drawing people from across the globe and coverage from Popbitch to The Sunday Post.
“When I was a kid I could pretend I could tell my parents I was reading, even though I was just reading a comic,” says writer-comedian Richard Herring of the exhibition. “Now I can say I am going to an art gallery, even though I am just going to look at some comics. Thanks, comics!”

• “Comic Timing” is located in the Lower Ground Floor of Harrods and is directly down the stairs from Door Five, by the Knightsbridge Tube exit
