Please, watch the video and send it on to any politician you know. Our lives are at stake. More here :
We need strong leadership on climate change. Too many politicians are happy to speak about the issue, but their promises have often turned out to be just a load more hot air. One exception is the United Kingdom, where a climate law has just been adopted, which will force the government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions every year.
We need your help to ensure that other governments follow this example.
Raise your voice, shout it on the train or in the middle of the street, stand on your desk at work: ACT THE F*CK NOW!!!
The time for talking is over, it’s time for action!
Oh, and about that comics content – there is some after all : if you look carefully at the guy in the suit, you’ll see that he’s played by none other than Cowboy Henk creator Herr Seele…
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.

Elaborating further on Kamagurka and Herr Seele, here is a beautiful comic that they created for Humo, to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The cool part about this strip is that two other famous collaborators to Humo, Ever Meulen and Joost Swarte, also contributed to it.

These illustrations were made by Belgian cartoonist, painter, piano collector and tuner Herr Seele (Peter Van Heirseele) as advertisments for a music festival in Blankenberge (2005). They feature the world-famous (in Belgium, anyway) Cowboy Henk, Seele’s creation together with cartoonist Kamagurka.


This is a nice illustration Herr Seele made for a series of books published by the Flemish daily Het Nieuwsblad, celebrating Belgium and Belgian life in all its glorious aspects. They even had a book on Belgian comics.
If you don’t get the reference, check out Google Maps. Or come to Brussels.
