Père fictif

Personne n’a demandé à venir au monde. Pourtant, nous voilà à déambuler à travers les méandres avec la vague impression de contrôler notre destinée. C’est un triste constat de savoir que notre conception inclut un bagage parfois lourd à porter alors que nous essayons tant bien que mal de nous extirper du moule que nos géniteurs ont inconsciemment façonné. Sommes-nous condamnés à devenir une copie…

“I Think All of Us Are Marked By Some Kind of Tragedy” – An Interview with Joe Ollmann on ‘Fictional Father’, Published by Drawn & Quarterly

Comic Book Saturday

This is a cool memoir-ish graphic novel. Guy Delisle worked at a pulp and paper factory when he was 16 (and two summers after that), doing twelve hour shifts in not the best conditions for sure. (Noisy, old machines, etc.). It also tells his story of getting into animation school even though there are no guarantees of success after school at all.

In this he sorta pulls apart all the different stuff that he observed back then and puts it here. (Along the lines of the classic ‘Be Careful Or I'll Put You In My Novel’ t-shirt, it may be funny, but it’s also often true, novel, poem, graphic novel).

The story was awesome. (There’s even a public library in it!) And, I loved the art too.
