French Cabinet Re-Shuffle Puts Cartoonist Honors on Fast Track



Five cartoonists were honored Tuesday evening with awards from French Minister of Culture Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, an event made possible by the ongoing purge of the cabinet following a negative vote on the EU referendum. Honored were:

Jacques Martin (Alix, Lefranc): Commandeur.
Jean Van Hamme (Thorgal, XIII): Officier.
Christian Binet (Kador, Les Bidochon) Chevalier.
Lewis Trondheim (Lapinot, Donjon) Chevalier.

The minister also honored Akira author Katsuhiro Otomo, and praised his work.

I have no idea what any of this means, really, but I still sort of like it.
