Funnily enough, there was an article in the observer this weekend(I think) about Raymond Briggs. He does live in Sussex.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

His other classic "When the Wind Blows" following the aftermath of a Nuclear exchange is set (I believe) near Hassocks...Not sure about the setting for "Fungus the Bogeyman"

Along Underhill Lane, between Ditchling and Westmeston to be precise.

I possess a copy of WTWB, signed by Raymond Briggs, complete with a personal dedication.

It'll be worth a fortune, if the bomb drops and we all get blown to pieces.

Wasn't Raymond Briggs an art teacher at Brighton College? Does he still work there, anybody know?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

According to this article in 2004, he retired from the art school in 1987.
