An Evening with David Sutherland - Comics Genius

We were very sorry to hear of the death of David Sutherland, comics legend, in January 2023, shortly after it was announced that he had been awarded an OBE in the News Year's Honours List, after 60 years of drawing The Bash Street Kids in The Beano. Back in 2012 we celebrated Dave's 50th Bash St anniversary with an exhibition and event in the Baxter Suite in collaboration with the Scottish Centre for Comics Studies and DC Thomson & Co Ltd as part of WestFest. Here we present an edited version of the evening event in which Dave talks about his life and career while drawing some of his favourite characters. Asking the questions is former Beano editor Euan Kerr, with the most recent former editor Alan Digby and then acting editor Iain McLaughlin also on hand. The event was introduced by Rhoda Miller of WestFest (also a former DC Thomson employee) and Dr (now Prof) Chris Murray. At the end, Chris presents Dave with a lifetime achievement award from the Scottish Centre for Comics Studies, and before the Q&A at the end there's a special video message from Aardman animator Nick Park, a great fan of Dave's work. Apologies for the poor sound quality, and the fact that Dave spends most of the time facing away from the camera!
