After hearing an interview this morning on the BBC World Service, I found this interesting article in The Guardian

BBC World Service Radio:

Why The Gruffalo’s Axel Scheffler Draws for Europe, The Cultural Frontline

"This week on The Cultural Frontline we find out how leading international artists are responding to some of the world’s biggest news stories. The Grufallo illustrator Axel Scheffler tells The Cultural Frontline why he has responded to Brexit through illustration".

On his drawing of the owl (Eule, or EU-le), illustrated in the article below:
