My friend Jeroom makes some of the funniest poo poo.
I don't think his work has ever officially been translated in English.
Although he is doing something for cartoon network, I think.

Look at the cup.

I don't get it.


Speaking of cups, I once made a comic about that too.
It's in no way referencing any popular culture thing.
Anyway, I made hundreds of these, but never translated them in english or put online.
The ones I did got like 5 views and internet doesn't pay anyway.
i know it's inappropriate these days to expect to make any sort of living with anything creative.

I've been looking at mrfart's site and it looks like he has several (physical) albums out, so I don't think he's doing that badly. Of course, the Flemish + Dutch market isn't where the big bucks are - although maybe francophone too, I see he's been getting published in Spirou.


Yes, originally I write my comics in Dutch. But I translate them in French for Spirou magazine and the francophone market. They are the reason I can make them in the first place.
The dutch market is extremely small. It’s nice to have the albums but they make barely enough to bother printing them :) And English is mainly a digital begging market.

Yeah, I’ve been pushing some links on social media of local comic book shops, because they’re obviously struggling pretty badly with the lockdown.

I just this minute realised that bagpipes/uilleann pipes survived in Scotland and Ireland only in isolated, mountainy places because those are the only places you can practice without being driven out by enraged neighbours
I might have told this before, but a friend of mine works in the center of Edinburg. Often there’s a guy playing bagpipes outside of his office for tourists and from time to time, he and his colleagues go pay the guy to stop playing or move somewhere else.

It's like a band that pops up who sound a little bit like all the bands you already like and you can't be mad because it's done so well and more of that is good.

I know Brecht a bit. Haven’t seen him in ages since my ‘dj’ days in Brussels. But he’s been doing this at least since 2006 or so. He comes from the same generation of Brecht Evens and Pieter de poortere with his boerke (dickie?)

I have a few of the physical albums, Cowboy Henk actually dates back all the way to 1981.

Heh, I forgot if it was one of the early albums or the big retrospective compilation one that had all these angry letters in them from people back in the day threatening to cancel their newspaper subscription if they didn’t remove cowboy Henk.

Some actors did a reading of the whole thing on youtube during lockdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHsV5-hreNo I guess that's NSFW.

I have the scratch and win comic book:


The only joke she ever translated was a pretty meek one :)

It's funny they used a Tintin strip for this because Nick Rodwell, the guy who "inherited" Hergé's intellectual property by marrying Hergé's widow is a huge rear end in a top hat suing anyone using Hergé's work (even just a single box) without paying them.

I guess that's :thejoke:



e: cool thing though he made a huge amount of original art publicly exposed in a museum just next to where I live, and the entrance is free once per month. He's doing a good job of promoting Hergé's work with the shitton of money they are making from the books and other products. Just he shouldn't be such an rear end in a top hat regarding fair use

e2: oh apparently it's part of a full satirical album with parodies of all classical comics, so I guess I read too much into it :)

Museum is cool. It, ahem, forgets to mention some of hergé's history, though :)

You mean a comics museum? There's the Hergé Muséum which is honestly good if you love his art, but besides that there's not much to see in the city. It's still fun to walk there, as it's a city that was built in 68 out of nowhere so they had the opportunity to try many ideas to make it more pleasant. Like there's architectural guidelines, the city is built on a concrete slab and cars go below it, so the whole university is pedestrian.

Not everything aged well, it's not the prettiest, but it's interesting. I think they remade the city museum too holding all the most interesting possessions of the university, quite eclectic.


The town is worth a visit because it's a one of its kind in Belgium. I was only there during summer holidays though, when the student piss rivers run dry, I suppose?

As I understand it, the museum was supposed to be in Brussels, but moulinsart ( company which protects the work of Hergé) went elsewhere because the city didn't fork over enough money.

Yes, I mean a comics museum, not a café. Every little village in Belgium has at least 5 of the latter, although they've been closing at a pretty rapid rate these past two decades or so.


Wow it really is exactly like the old Leuven

I should pay it a visit, the city museum seems interesting. I'm also a big fan of car-free areas in cities, they just poo poo everything up and make it unpleasant, so an entire car-free town should be up my alley.

@mrfart: what's the recommended age range for your Captain Anchovy series?

Good question.
It started out as a comic strip in a school magazine for 8-10 year olds.
When it was picked up by Spirou, it turned into a more 'all ages' thing. I made some more risqué ones, but nobody ever complained.









I only make bigger one to six page stories/jokes or game pages now. For the latter, they did move me to the 10 to 12 year olds, because these loving things always turn into weird and sometimes absurd games and riddles and the kids can't solve them.
But on the other hand, I just released like a collection album with mostly these games, and kids seem to really like them, although they annoy their parent asking for solutions.

i don't think I ever translated any of these because it's a lot of work.
