Is there a link to Watchsmurfs?

This reminds me a bit of Jason’s work but without the overhanging melancholy, which is nice.

Yes, it was what I was talking about.

By the way, Jog has just done a very impressive review of an ubermainstream french-belgian comic (Smurfs!) over at Savage Critics. Even found out the never before revealed connection between Smurfs and… Watchmen!

That’s what I’m pestering Cronin to make…

Lapinot is alternative over here.

No, man. Trondheim is a L’Association founding member! He is alternative even when he is mainstream!

For it to be minimally mainstream, at least it should be one of his originally album format (you know the drill, oversized hardcover) comics like Lapinot…

Still waiting for you to read a mainstream french comic. C’mon, it’s not so hard!

Oh, that’s right! Does this count as a mainstream French work, Pedro?

Trondheim is always cool. Now I’m waiting for the third volume to arrive here from France. Envy me!

I didn’t dig the first one so much – Or at least I liked the longer-form stuff in MOME a LOT better.

Still, I’ll probably get this.
