Snarebrook Crown Court

Dan Boultwood has worked on numerous high profile comics including Chu, Doctor Who, and more but has been sentenced to three years in prison, with a suspension for two years, thirty days of rehabilitation activity related to sexual offences, and 200 hours of local community work. He will also fall under sex-offender notification requirements as well as paying court fees.

Boultwood pled guilty to three counts of sexual activity with a child. The crime occurred in 2010 when he was 29 and the victim was 15. The age of consent is 16 in the UK. Due to the nature of the crime and age, the victim’s identity is anonymous. The crime was reported in 2023 and Boultwood was arrested in 2025. He pled guilt in May with his sentencing taking place this week in a Snarebrook Crown Court.

We reached out to multiple collaborators of Boultwood who were unaware of the arrest and crime, all described him as difficult to communicate with and a bit of a recluse with difficulty getting in touch with and being unresponsive.

The Cartoon Art Museum

The Cartoon Art Museum has announced that it will not be renewing its lease at its Beach Street address when it expires at the end of August. The location will officially close on Sunday, August 2, 2026. The organization said in its announcement that it will regroup to determine what the next chapter of the Cartoon Museum should be.

The museum opened up ten years ago at its Beach Street location but has faced challenges due to COVID and a slow recovery after.

The Cartoon Art Museum was founded in 1984 and featured original cartoon art, exhibitions, screenings, workshops, research, and various events. It houses 9,000 original pieces of art in its collection and has welcomed over 500,000 visitors since it opened.

Beyond its economic issues, the recent curator for the museum, Andrew Farago, was arrested and is facing charges. He was soon let go after news of his arrest spread. It is unknown if his departure is related to the decision to not renew the museum lease.

The news of the closure comes about month after the the Northwest Museum of Cartoon Arts closed its doors.

We’ll of course have updates as more news released as to the future of the museum and how the comic community the greater public can rally to build the next iteration of it.
