Herr Seele Reads
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
My mom posted this yesterday on one of her own blogs (and she indeed has many). I don’t know where she got it – probably some old Humo. I liked it though.
Translation :
- A man reading a book. That’s gonna be a laugh.
- Well, that was a laugh.

Here’s another of Pieter De Poortere’s great bird’s eye view illustrations that I blogged about earlier. This one was published on the cover of Focus Knack, to announce a lenghty article about the current state of Flemish cartoon and comics, which quotes Top Shelf’s Brett Warnock with an enthousiastic laudatio to the Flemish comic :
“Your flemish artists at least have a really unique and fantastic vision. Far to many Americans create comics full of talking heads, whereas Flemish, and also a lot of French authors dare to explore wild and boisterous ideas in brave artistic styles. I only whish American authors took them as an example.” (This, btw, is very weird, as I had to translate this from a Dutch translation of an English text – I only wonder how much I changed in it).
The article also contains profiles of six hot Flemish talents (Pieter De Poortere, Conz, Olivier Schrauwen, Judith Vanistendael, Brecht Evens and Simon Spruyt) and announces the great Belgian Cartoon Clash, a contest for new, undiscovered cartoonists who get a chance at winning 52 pages in Focus.

A great comic from a recent issue of Humo – Kamagurka and Herr Seele’s Cowboy Henk tries on Superman’s garb…
(translation : “Shit, all my clothes are in the laundry. The only thing I have left is this thing here.” “Is it a bird ?” “Is it a plane ?” “No, it’s Cowboy Henk”)
