Mr Bertie is a stinky sneaker of a teacher. He told Daddy about my low grades, and now I am the lazy bun and total shame on all my bun kin. NO SIMS, NO SWEETS, and NO LIFE until I read all those books. Ow! I’m buried alive under the library! I feel like yelling at him, “I’m fifteen! Too old for reading Dickens. I have too much adult staff to deal with.” Well, mostly sewing dresses for my dolls and playing Sims, but the adult potential is there, I sense it!
He left me locked in his study with THREE books as big as bricks and the laziest bum Tom to guard my studying. Luckily, my cat is more interested in his own tail to catch rather than reading about dirty, smelly London streets. I read five pages of Oliver Twist and felt like puddling in the nasty gutter. Is that what they want me to learn from the author?
It’s nothing new. My life is FULL of nastiness, i.e.:
1. That ugly under-the-skin pimple on my forehead will never face the light of day but brood in the labyrinths of my brains for the next twelve years.
2. If I don’t read one million pages on how hard it is to live in Dickens’ head, I may never see the light of day either.
3. I am having a test in six days and I’m certain Mr Bertie is going to fit in the most sadistic questions to watch us suffer, like Oliver Twist did.
4. And I don’t even have a tail like Tom’s to play busy till the Kingdom comes. Ow!

I love the Artful Dodger in every version of Olive Twist
Using Oliver Twist to try and find a style I could actually illustrate in some day!
In a twist that literally everyone who knows me saw coming, I love the new Dodger show
The Artful Dodger has been my favourite literary character since I was about 11 and I’m fairly confident I’ve seen literally every film or tv version of him. Plus Christopher Eccleston is one of my all time favourite actors - what’s not to love?
Anyway the show is really sweet and funny and this little dodger is BRILLIANT
Back on my Oliver Twist illustrating shit
Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens, 1838
“Hay libros cuyas partes traseras y cubiertas son de lejos la mejor parte”
—Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens
“Stupito che qualcuno potesse leggere tutti quei libri, che sembravano scritti allo scopo di rendere il mondo più saggio.”
_Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens
