Terwhang! – here comes part two of Sweeny Toddler’s
Christmases from the X-mas issues of Whoopee!
published in 1978 and 1979. Both covers are by Robert Nixon, and they are the
only two examples of Mr. Nixon drawing Sweeny. I wouldn’t be so confident
crediting Robert Nixon with the second cover but initials “R N” beneath the sock confirm it was him. Inside pages are by Tom Paterson (as if you
needed me pointing this out to you :) )… Enjoy!
The second Sweeny cover is by Sid Burgon...I know that decoration he always does round his Christmas stories...
ReplyDeleteoops! you are right there is the R.N for Robert Nixon...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Robert Nixon drew the two covers at the same time..and that the editor could choose between the two..But used both in different years...they are similar..
