I got the chance to interview French cartoonist Boulet and was very excited for the chance. His blog is like comics from another world. He is extremely prolific, creating some wonderfully beautiful work. His only printed work in English, is a volume of the Dungeon series, Zenith 3: Back In Style.
His 24 hour comic The Darkness, was an example of his quick skill, impressing both cartoonists and readers quite substantively. Thanks to Sarah Glidden for helping to set this up.
Thanks Robin! 🙂
Just for the mentions: the first song is by “Les Chauds Lapins”, a great group from Brooklyn, and the second one is by “Inglenook”, a group from France!
Boulet, I guess you meant the opposite : “les chauds lapins” from France and “Inglenook” from Brooklyn. ^^
Nope!
That was the point, actually 🙂

How symbolic! Like, friendship between countries, cultures and shit, you know
Missing a ‘:’ in the url of h eenglish version of boulet site.
I so hope that more attention on Boulet’s work on the anglophone side of the comics-world is going to lead to more translations of his stuff available. His webcomic moves from beautiful to hilarious to thought-provoking with nimble ease! I would love if “Notes” came over! Plus, even just visually Ragnarok is enticing – I would love to read it. Someone needs to get on this!
Thanx for an interview in english with my fav cartoonist, as I unfortunately don’t understand french … interesting and funny
The last song is so beautiful !
And now the band has an album available on iTunes (sorry Robin for the commercial in your comments!)

If you click on the English versions of his comics you are taken to the French originals. If you’re like me and have some French and want more, it’s great fun.
