it's fascinating....
(though it should be said i didn't know i'd be doing an interview until about an hour and a half before i was sitting in the studio.)

all that and those two most glorious words in any language: PER DIEM!!! god bless the french! (or in this case les quebecois!)...
and with that a sneak peak at my next project...

i wound up on a panel with bosse, lalie, and lepage entitled "are you herge or franquin", and treaded water as best i could....

that's me doodling for a confused fan ("what do you mean these are original pages?"). if i look like like i'm sweating it's because i was struggling through a tortured-french explanation of who monroe was (and, indeed, what MAD is?), and running a temperature of 102. don't ever say i'm not there for the fans... to get them sick...
behind me is the great hall of the canadian museum of civilisation.
if i wasn't clear before, le rendezvous was everything a comic show should be, and quite unlike anything i'd ever attended in the past. it was at the same time a fun, relaxing, and rewarding experience, and i've already offered myself up to the organizers should they ever need any help in the future.
sadly, though, i won't get another per diem.
