Whoa, I hope she doesn't breed me. :/
Cool, and thanks for posting the backside as well, Loulou. So now that you have the full set, would you say that all the cards are actual characters from various Moeby stories?
Wow, interesting. So he was designer and producer, but not the programmer. Makes sense.
Back in the day I used to play Beach Head, the original game BH2000 was based on, and find it funny that the body of critics prefer the original(!)
I appreciate the anatomical correctness in Franquin´s elephants a lot.
Same. I'm super-impressed with artists who can seemingly cover the whole spectrum, from goofy-cartoony to beautiful LC to impressive realism. Then to 'blend those qualities all together' is just... makes me speechless sometimes. I find part of the reason I like Euro comics so much is because many of the greats, like Franquin, had such an ability.
In manga for example I find it mostly the opposite. They tend to be routinely technical and rarely goofy-cartoony in any interesting sense. Osamu Tezuka is the great outlier, I think.
By the way, in my opinion human rights should be extended to include the animals you listed and also the hairy apes.
I feel much the same.
Lucky to be alive!
I visited Paris some years back, tried to speak in my terrible tourist French whenever possible, and never found a hint of snobbery. I kinda get the impression that visitors with an attitude or who treat the city like an amusement park get the worst of the 'snobbery.'

If I could be any Python, it would Palin.
Do you have the whole set? There is an index card which lists all the art cards. Also, if the backs of the cards are like this one, then each card should specify which Moeby book the character is from.
I sometimes hunt down some old publication in metal hurlant or echo de la savane but it’s quite the hit or miss, it’s often a page from something already well known, but sometimes there is a little piece of rare stuff.
Is this... in relation to the cards, or just Moeby stuff in general?
Hah, another funny character.
You know I managed to find the back to this card and did some image upscaling to it:
I wasn't actually sure, but this seems to suggest that most or all of these characters previously appeared in his books.
You raise some interesting points, but IME that's pretty-much 'representational cop posture' from the 50's and 60's.
Now, I like how you notice this stuff, because it's the foundation of being an artist IMO. You're looking for details, which is what we do. At the same time-- I can be very WRONG, and I love how others (like you) can correct me, bringing me back to reality, eh?
No, sorry. I don't know about that one.
