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'' 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. He also contributed illustrations and comic strips to 1990s video game magazine Electric Brain. 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), ''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), ''Jeremiah Jellyfish Flies High'' (2010), and ''The Day Louis Got Eaten'' (2011).
