Go, Read: Matthias Wivel At TCJ.com Gets Lewis Trondheim Comment On FIBD Grand Prix Voting

Matthias Wivel over at The Comics Journal gets Lewis Trondheim on the record about the new voting for the grand prix at Angouleme, a process that the former winner and international cartooning superstar had publicly endorsed. Trondheim cites the quality of this year's finalists -- Alan Moore, Katsuhiro Otomo and eventual winner Bill Watterson -- and their more significant reflection of the world of comics as it exists today. Wivel does ask a question that formulates a concern I had, that this may make it impossible for significant figures from the French-language comics tradition to win the award, and Trondheim answers. As he notes, the voting process can still change, although I agree with him that it's likely it won't change a whole bunch.
