# now just for a bit of free floating aggression
I happened to be reading the other week about some of the current Beano artists
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kev_F._Sutherland

THIS guy seems to have an extremely unwarranted reputation and opinion of himself, I looked at some of his work and all I see is an untalented, unfunny, self-promoting hack

# some may wonder why I'm hating on a guy who just makes silly pictures for kids
but that's what I mean by free floating aggression

also the pap he's peddling is an insult to children's imagination, they deserve better silly pictures than this.

I think what lit the fire was his Mary Sue appearance in the Bash Street zombies story, introduced with the arrow "top brill beano artist kevin f"
