Angoulême 2009

St Pancrass at eight in the morning.

EVERYone on that train went to Disneyland Europe. Except me. And I nearly did as well, because I very, very nearly missed the stop at Lille. (no announcement whatsoever, and my clock had stopped, and the bit of Lille station looked like a rough tunnel. Guess that's 'A'rchitecture.).

Waiting Room, Lille

Reception at the CNBDI (the Comics Museum)

Le Chat Noir
Expo 'Frank Margerin' (in the theatre)
For this one I had a permanent audience of 20 kids, who were being carted through the popular bits of the Festival (Margerin is a star in France). The teacher kept urging them to take a look at the exhibition as they had to move on, but no go.

Posy Simmons Interview

Expo 'Shigeru Mizuki'

James Kochalka Interview (with Jean-Paul, who now sports a mustache)

Expo 'Sai Comics' (from South Korea)

Preview of the new Miyazake film. Very impressive (apart from the music at the end)

Expo 'Julie M.' (nice illustrations - although I wish she'd do more comics)

final press conference

A novelty: the main award ceremony takes place right at the end. Something about making the Monday newspapers. Main winners were Blutch and Winschluss (that's supposed to be him here). - Posy also got a prize, for 'Tamara Drew'.
