Beard Liberation Front
13th November
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the depiction of Beard of the Year Michael Rosen’s beard in the current issue of The Beano is concerning.
Michael Rosen has produced a cartoon strip for The Beano linked to a poetry promotion, and the campaigners say this is a positive development.
Unfortunately his beard is misrepresented in the cartoon. It suggests that he has a ‘chin beard’ whereas in real life he has a fully organic beard covering the lower half of his face.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, The Beano cartoon strip is great but the depiction of Michael Rosen’s beard needs refinement.
