Exposition Le Monde de Franquin – Cité des Sciences, a companion site for an exhibition exploring the technological imagination of one of my favorite cartoonists, the incredibly hilarious André Franquin. [via The Cartoonist.]
Franquin was one of the giants of francophone comics and cartooning, but has only rarely been published in English. Naturally enough, the few pages of his work I’ve seen in English were published in the late eighties in a Fantagraphics comics anthology.
He certainly was a GIANT. One of the best illustrators of the “semi-funny” comic genre, if not the best ever. His drawings just seem to live – as if they’re animated. Amazing.
