Dear Charlie,
The sun is back, time again for picnics.
If you're looking for inspiration, here's a mouth-watering article I've just read.

By the way, did you recognize the famous Dagwood from Blondie ?
This character is  obsessed with his wife, his naps and his food and in particular sandwiches so much so that he had a sandwhich named after him.

Blondie has been a running feature of Sunday newspaper comics.

I hope, you enjoyed this double taste of American pop culture
Best,

Meeting with Joseph Lambert

Duuring the conference

After the conference: the assault of fans

Joseph Lambert is an American cartoonist and illustrator. He was born in 1984 in Kansas and actually lives in Vermont. He graduated from the Center for Cartoon Studies. He received twice the Eisner Price for his most famous comic, "Annie Sullivan & Helen Keller" published in 2012.

On Tuesday December the 2nd, Joseph Lambert came at the Lycée St-Charles, because of his nomination at the Prix Littéraire des Lycéens et Apprentis 2015. Thanks to our teachers, we had the opportunity to meet him during a "private time" at the school library. We obviously could ask him questions that we have kept in our curious minds since we have read his incredible comic. Joseph Lambert answered us with all his sincerity, he took time to make special drawings for everyone of us and to take photos with people who wanted to. He also showed us some personal drawings (we all have VERY curious minds!!).

That was a really rewarding experience to have the opportunity to talk to Joseph Lambert. His singular personality was fascinating and we are all now convinced he is a great artist. We also want to thank him (and his great "team" too) very much for the patience and time he spent with us and for his kindness and generosity. There was a real exchange and we are glad he shared this special moment  with us.
