2-15 : THE GIRL WHO PRICKS

September 9th,  2011 | HOW NOT SHOWING THE EYES MAKES A CHARACTER MYSTERIOUS EVEN IF YOU SHOW ALL ITS BODY

Well, isn’t pre-posting the best thing ever ? When you’ll read this page, I’ll probably be on the plane that’s taking me to Brussels where I’ll spend a couple of months. Nothing really exciting… I mean… it’s only the capital of fries, chocolate and bandes-dessinées !!

Anyway, the new character is here – her name (and eyes) is revealed on the next page !

2-14 : THE FAT ONE AND THE MIDGET

September 6th,  2011 | HOW TO EMPHASIZE ON THE PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS

So, September, eh ? How did your Labor Day go ? Me ? Well, I spent it doing this mother-freaking page, that’s what I did !! Just kidding (only half the day). Anyway, the new character (more or less) appears on the next page, be there !!

2-13 : EXPOSED JUNK OPTION

August 31st,  2011 | HOW TO ATTRACT READERS WITH A MISLEADING TITLE

Finally, the Bruise is back !! It had been a while since the last time I drew him… But he is on almost every page coming, so I won’t miss drawing him much I guess ! Stay tuned, the following pages are action-filled, and a new character may or may not show up…

2-12 : A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

August 29th,  2011 | HOW TO OVERCOME A PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY WITH A POPULAR STORYTELLING DEVICE

I like this page ; because we once again get to see the character as something else than just comic relief. The third panel made me laugh because, long after I drew it, I realized anyone would be stuck in this position because, even though Yogi’s right leg is above the beam, how is he supposed to put his leg back on the floor without touching the beam ? But, thanks to the magic of ellipsis, the problem is easily overcome. Also, I liked drawing the paintings in the first panel, even if it took me quite some time.

OH !! And this week I’m featured on Fmylife.com with an illustrated FML !! (I had already done it earlier this month on the French version of the site, viedemerde.fr). Here are the two links below, go check them out !!

2-11 : THE SAME NIGHT

August 25th,  2011 | HOW – MY…

Let’s not even comment on how long it’s been since the last page… Right now I’m very focused on my comics and art, and re-reading the previous pages of Bruise and the readers reaction (on the French version, as there ain’t many that comment on this version – but big thanks to those who do !), I decided to at least finish this chapter. So here it comes !

As for the page itself, I do love that we get to see Yogi Laroche as something else than an idiot wannabe womanizer ; after all, the guy’s a super-thief !! He almost deserves a spin-off ( but let’s not count our chickens before they have hatched :p).

2-10 : THE DEAL

April24th,  2011 | HOW TO MAKE A GOOD THING OUT OF LAZINESS

Yes, I decided not to color this page. I don’t think colors would have had anything really, especially as the shadowy-guy trick works better in a black and white environment. That, of course, doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop coloring the pages – I like how they end up too much to do so. On another note, every French-speaking reader, go check my new webcomics, Trout & Salmon, that I co-created with comics-genius Elosterv ! A new to-be-continued comedy about two colleagues…

UPDATE  (2011 AUG 25) Finally colored the page !! This episode has a real “night” feeling behind it – especially with the prologue and the scene that follows this page…

2-09 : DD’S MANAGERS ARE ASSHOLES

March 27th,  2011 | HOW TO LINK THE FIRST SCENE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER

As the last panel implies, the episode is finally going to start now ! Sorry for the delays, a lot (AWHOLEFUCKINGLOT) of things has been happening to me lately so updating the comics (and my blog) ain’t always easy. Thanks for your patience !
