Panel Borders: Octopi, dogs and bears, oh my!

By Alex Fitch on August 14, 2009

Originally broadcast on 13th August 2009 as an episode of Strip! on Resonance 104.4 FM, Panel Borders continues its month devoted to childrens’ comics with an interview with artists Henri Goldsmann and Richy K. Chandler about their work.

Harold (a dog’s best friend), by Henri Goldsmann

Henri is the author of a new picture book – Harold (a dog’s best friend) – and has a successful career as a caricaturist, having dabbled in graphic novels such as Secret Agent Spanky Sheep on the side.

He’s also created titles such as Henry and the Hidden Veggie Garden, as part of the Love Your Veggies campaign.

Richy Chandler has produced ten terrific mini comics such as Lucy the Octopus and Govinda the Meditating Rabbit over the last couple of years which, as we previously reported, are now available in a cute bear shaped box set.
