“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work & artistry from around the world is also welcome, especially BD-style.

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French, followed by other Euro languages.

When posting foreign-language content, please DO include helpful context for English-speakers.

HINTS: (please don't look if you don't need them)
If you need a hint upon #3, then I'll offer two, but you must deduct 2pts from your overall score for reading each one. I'll go ahead and write the hints upside-down just below for those who don't want it.

ANSWERS:

  1. It's professor Pacôme de Champignac, Fantasio, Spirou, and Panoramix ("Getafix" in English translations) EDIT: Oh! I deserve a rap on the knuckles for omitting Spip the squirrel, and Idéfix ("Dogmatix"), The scoring has been adjusted.

  2. Astérix en Corse ("Asterix in Corsica"), the 20th Asterix album

"Corsica" is the best-selling title in the history of the series, owing to its sales in the French-speaking market, but is one of the least-selling titles in the English language. --WP

  1. The poster is from the annual comics festival in Ajaaccio, Corsica, an event I just learned about myself! Specifically, this is evidently a piece made by Fabrice Tarrin for the event, which... looks like it was maybe from the 19th show, from 2022?

SCORING:

  1. Give yourself 1pt for each character you correctly identified.
  2. Give yourself 3pts for identifying the correct tome.
  3. Give yourself another 4pts for identifying the -specific- city of the event. (let's give back a near-miss Corsican city 1pt in return, though)

HINTS:
As stated above, deduct two points for each hint taken earlier.

Max score is ~~11pts~~ 13pts. How did you do?

Btw, this here festival looks PRETTY GREAT!
And look, mateys-- it's coming up again in November...
