A 50-something French dude that’s old enough to think blogs are still cool, if not cooler than ever. Also, I like to write and to sketch.

Nah, cheers on ya lad. Helps hearing sanity amidst equally purposeful chaos. Good people in France, good people in America, good people all over.
I would be tempted to say ‘Amen to that’ but since I’m not a believer and, more importantly, since I know how ‘Amen’ is frowned upon but this time by another bunch of self-proclaimed defenders of the good values (aka censors), I will simply and enthusiastically say +1 ;)
Some parts of the US population are so intellectually fucked up, it’s hard to believe witnessing it from the outside while also knowing perfectly well how fucking smart and bright other parts of the exact same population are at the same time.
But fear not, dear USA, you’re not alone in that dumbefuckery shitshow your’re putting on for the world to see as we have the same kind of morons thriving around here, in France, too. They too like to (try to) ban and forbid stuff, they’re just a tad dumber than your own dumbfucks.
Once they will realize banning books is not enough, I suppose they will ask for laws allowing to take them out of our private home, and burn them, to show how bad those books are. Like some other absolute assholes already did some 80/90 years ago.
I’m sorry for being so negative. It’s just… They’re exhausting. I wish they would take some rest, once in a while.
They licensed a lot of Disney, but Niko and Fantasio, Yoko Tsuno, and Asterix invoke such powerful nostalgia in a way that Disney, being so huge and a current part of the cultural zeitgeist, doesn’t.
So much :)
I really need to look into Asterix again.
Nodding approvingly ;)
I’m well into my 50s and there have been two comics I have never grew tired of. Quite the contrary, the more I read them the more I love them. That is Goscinny & Uderzo Astérix (the albums they created together, not so much what came later), and Bill Watterson Calvin & Hobbes.
And in my very humble opinion, and if I have anything to say on that matter, if heaven has to be a thing I wish for it to be a Watterson comic strip.
haven’t at least some of them been elected? If so, who should be punished? Asking for a friend, obviously ;)
So great!
One of the hardest of his strips I can think of. Very impressive too.
Just wanted to thank you for everything you did and wishing the best with your own comic :)
Thx for the clarification.
