Is Enid Blyton still a thing?

@Taskerland He is usually quite vocal about the things he doesn't like. But in interviews he professes to like Blyton.
IIRC Magic Faraway Tree is quoted directly in V for Vendetta (I don't have a copy here to check).

They are all about the solace of blood dimmed personal rituals, and the way we all scream silent in paralytic terror when we realise the consummate privation of the universe from any existential meaning except futility. You'd love them.

Yes, his real name is Shardik
I'm genuinely amazed how many book covers Shardik has had. Some of them are great.

That would do me for an RPG style actually. Red vector overlay on black iconography of weapons/ghosts/wes-streeting. Nice white space pages. Themed so it's all SVGs and rescales flawlessly on a PDF or to print. I think that would have a nice impressionist quality as game art. Thematic, compelling but not demanding.

I read that as "yodellers" and it still basically worked.
Eat the Reich looked like visual sick, but that that's an example of "lots of people" liking something is not a great system for critical recommendation.
Wasn't it Bias of Priene who's maxim was "Most people's opinion of RPG art is rubbish"?
