The Ephemerist

On the tickets for Flemish local public transport organisation De Lijn’s services (the bus, basically), Ilah’s Cordelia urges users to get their tickets in advance (as that is cheaper). Which is a bit strange to me, since this results in everybody at least once paying too much, namely for the ticket on which they find Cordelia’s good advice…

Ilah is one of those cartoonist who manage to capture Real Life in a few carefully chosen lines. She makes it look so easy, and still has me stumped every time I see one of her cartoons or strips.

The strip above might as well be drawn for life in the morning at Château Sparehed… Even if you don’t speak Dutch, the meaning is clear I think. If not, here’s a quick translation :

• Hello son ! Did you sleep well ?
• Mumble mumble mumble mumble…
• …
• Hello mommy…
