Algoud to Tinlot at Fluide Glacial:

Well, if I can be of some help , I try to explain this story with my ununderstandable english (FYI ):

In chronological order:

1/In 1995, Audie, the publisher of Fluide Glacial has been absorbed by a bigger publisher: Flammarion.
2/ Flammarion - who has bought the publisher Casterman in 1999 too - has been bought by a bigger publisher: Rizzoli-Corriere-della Sera (Italian)
3/Some of the authors of Fluide Glacial (coyotte and maester) have quit Fluide Glacial because they didn't agree with the editorial line of their new editor: Algoud.

Meanwhile,

1/Dupuis, the publisher of Spirou, has been bought by a bigger publisher: Media Participations.
2/Thierry Tinlot , the editor of Spirou, has quit Spirou.

Now, Tinlot is the editor of Fluide Glacial: he has replaced Algoud (it seems that Algoud prefers the press cartoonists and Tinlot prefers the comics cartoonists. Something like that.)
