"Berk" definition
[Read the article: Opus day!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Someone has suggested that it means merely "an idiot". Alas, if only. It means an idiot precisely the same way that "a cunt" does. And that's specifically its English slang usage... mostly southern England, working class. Confirmed by no less than my old friend--rest his godless soul-- Douglas Adams, an expert on foul English phrases.

Celebrity childrens' authors
[Read the article: Opus day!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some find my tirade against celebrity childrens' authors hypocritical. True, I have a foot in both camps. But my sole profession is storytelling through pictures. My martyrish disdain is for TV celebrities, rock stars, film stars and State Dogs whose names publishers place on arguably unaccomplished but immensely well sold books. These names are hired often as ghosts for the work of others. Yes, indeed, this threatens new talent more than it does myself. And that's the annoying part.
