Work

Fardell has been a regular contributor to the adult comic Viz , and has created and drawn two of the most popular and long-running strips, The Modern Parents [2] and The Critics , and also Ferdinand the Foodie and Desert Island Teacher . His strip The Modern Parents portrays the way a mother and father insist on bringing up their young sons by following a doctrine they term "ethical awareness", much to the children's detriment. [2] He also contributed illustrations and comic strips to 1990s video game magazine Electric Brain. [3]

Fardell is also an author and illustrator of children's books. To date he has produced three children's adventure novels: The Seven Professors of the Far North (2004), [4] The Flight of the Silver Turtle (2006), and The Secret of the Black Moon Moth (2009) – and three children's picture books: Manfred the Baddie (2008), [2] Jeremiah Jellyfish Flies High (2010), and The Day Louis Got Eaten (2011).
