{{examples|Works by Raymond Briggs with their own trope pages include:}}

* ''[[The Snowman]]''

* ''[[Fungus The Bogeyman]]''

* ''[[When the Wind Blows]]''

* [[Bad Santa]]: The titular character of ''Father Christmas'' (well, not really ''bad'', but less squeaky-clean and relentlessly jolly than most portrayals).

Line 18:

* [[Peek-a-Boogieman]]: The protagonist of ''Fungus The Bogeyman''. Scaring "drycleaners" (ordinary humans) is merely his day-job.

* [[Things That Go Bump in the Night]]: ''Fungus The Bogeyman'' is about the day-to-day life of such a creature.

* [[Write Who You Know]]:

* [[Write Who You Know]]: ''Ethel and Ernest'' is about the lives of Briggs' parents. The Bloggses from ''Gentleman Jim'' and ''When The Wind Blows'' are based on Briggs' parents. A milkman resembling his father, Ernest, makes an appearance in ''Father Christmas''. According to ''Blooming Books'', an analysis of Briggs' works, Briggs apparently based the facial appearance of Fungus from ''Fungus the Bogeyman'' upon a caricature of his mother.
