A fabulous "This or That" question and answer session with the pirate meister himself, Jonny Duddle, Author and illustrator of "The Pirates of Scurvy Sands"

Jonny Duddle, he may be a landlubber but he's also a canny pirate cove too!

We're delighted to host a fantastic "This or That" session with Mr Jonny Duddle, the author / illustrator of our Picture Book of the Week this week, "The Pirates of Scurvy Sands". We cooked up a set of awesome questions to put to the man himself, so take it away Jonny...!

1) Chocolate or Cheese? 

Chocolate! (As long as it’s the ‘proper’ dark stuff)



2) Digital or traditional art? 

Digital (but I prefer looking at traditional)



3) Star Wars or Star Trek? 

Star Wars!



4) Summer or Winter? 

Summer. (For the long days of sunshine).



5) Marmite lover or Marmite loather? 

Marmite LOVER! (YAY! We agree too!)



6) Tea or Coffee? 

Tea (I’ve never drunk coffee, I don’t like it!)



7) Pirates or Sci Fi? 

Pirates, ARRR!! (Unless we’re talking Star Wars)



8) Run a mile, Jump a stile or eat a country pancake? 

Jump a (Welsh) stile.



9) Cats or Dogs? 

Dogs



10) The ultimate question – what the HECK IS THIS WEIRD SPIKY THING? We keep seeing it in your books and we really want to know what on earth it is!

I’ve no idea. In this case it’s supposed to be the sun, and the hanging balls are planets. I do doodle shapes very much like these when I’m on the phone, so maybe they appear in my books subconsciously… Weird. (Now we look at it, that makes PERFECT sense - Ed)

A huge huge thanks to Jonny for submitting himself to our intense scrutiny via the medium of "This or That!".
