I Hadn’t Seen This Yet…



I don't know if this is an official poster or not, though, although it's certainly time for one. I like the cartoon's nod to a kind of classic "everyone in this town is comics-crazy" approach (the guy's fries are wrapped in a Smurfs cartoon).

Anyway, Dirk Deppey noticed this opinion piece by Gilles Ratier at BDZoom talking about the additional funds that may be needed to keep the Festival in Angouleme long-term given the town's recent infrastructure changes, some potential building and facilities to be added to that new infrastructure, the growing show needs of a variety of publishers, and a shake-up on the board that wasn't exactly pretty. It reads more like the kind of article one might write every year in anticipation of a big show -- the French equivalent to pieces that put future Comic-Con Internationals in places other than San Diego -- but the situation certainly bears watching.
