Cartoonist Pahé Arrested In Gabon

imageAccording to a brief write-up at the French-language comics news clearing house ActuaBD.com, the cartoonist Pahé was arrested in his home country of Gabon on I think Friday for a confrontation between himself and two police officers that included or was comprised solely of his trying to give those two officers a picture of them drinking beer. The cartoonist tells the story in his own words on various postings on his blog, and although the language barrier always makes taking such things on their surface something less than a 100 percent proposition, that surface take on things if it is totally on the up and up is pretty darn incredible.

The story also made English-language wires; this story includes the name of the cartoon.

Pahé is published in Europe by Pacquet, including I think an autobiographical series.
