Back from Angoulême
I'm back from Angoulême and can happily report that it was pretty amazing. The festival is enormous - much bigger than any of the ones we have in Germany - and there were tons of cool exhibitions and parties. Even cooler, perhaps, was the group of webcartoonists I was travelling with.
We had a lot of fun drawing epic comicjams and drinking more canned beer than anyone ever should. Most of said comicjam can be found on the JAZAM! tumblr (click on the image):
More (mostly drunk) comicjams can be found on my twitter stream.
When we weren't drinking our beer out of cans, we were paying for it with our Netzbildergeschichtenkünstlerpräsentationsheft-booklets, as Hillerkiller documented in this comic:
The way the French value comics is pretty amazing - especially if you're used to Germany, where few people take them seriously, and even the ones that do oftentimes don't actually read them. As I wrote on twitter:
Here's me with a childhood hero of mine:
The others also made some blog posts about our trip - most of them with cool mini-comics:
Hillerkiller (1)
Hillerkiller (2)
JARoo (1)
JARoo (2)
Spinken
Yinfinity
(I'll add more links when & if they come up.)

Germans are always surprised you'd ask them to pay money for your silly comics, French people can't believe you'd give them away for free.
