After much prodding from fans of my comic creation Derek the Cleric I have finally published a book featuring a compilation of some of the most popular cartoons, fittingly entitled, ‘The Best of Derek the Cleric‘.
Derek the Cleric began life in the 1990s as the back page cartoon for the Christian Herald newspaper in the UK. After the publication’s demise there remained a very large archive of material that seemed too good to waste.
With the advent of social media, Derek the Cleric soon found his way onto Facebook and Instagram.
At one time Derek had his own merchandise range, a book of his ramblings, appeared as a guest columnist at Christian.co.uk answering conundrums under the guise of his ‘Ask Derek’ column and has also appeared in a book entitled ‘Does God Lol?’ sitting alongside pieces by such comedy greats as Ken Dodd, Frank Carson, Milton Jones and Tim Vine.
He’s also to be found in church magazines and newsletters up and down the land, and at one time in The Church of Ireland Gazette and The Church Times.
What others have said about Derek the Cleric…
“Derek the Cleric is brilliant!”
“You definitely brighten my day.”
“Cracked me up.”
“Made me laugh out loud.”
“Love these cartoons.”
“Makes me smile.”
The Best of Derek the Cleric can by found on Amazon by clicking here.
