Wolinsky: Of BD’s Greatest Generation?

This article may not be worth seeking out and translating for non-French readers, but a source I trust confirmed my suspicion that Wolinsky being named next year's President for the Angouleme Festival is a real break from the past couple of years, and akin to someone like Ed Sorel being put in charge of the San Diego Con. So I thought it worth mentioning that the piece in question seems to notice that, too, but acknowledges Wolinsky's status as a a cultural figure, as a humorist, and suggests that in some ways this may be a last nod to the generation that did so much to form modern French comics.

American shows need to start naming Convention Presidents in this manner just so we have something to talk about. I'm looking at you, Small Press Expo.
