Ronald Searle Tribute
On what would have been Ronald Searle's 92nd birthday another amazing tale from Searle's wartime days as a POW is revealed. The Daily Mail has the scoop on a batch of early Searle cartoons discovered on the 'Antiques Roadshow' It's often hard to discern early cartoons such as these as Searle's- if it weren't for the signature I would dismiss several as not authentic.

Je suis allé installer la démocratie dans un pays qui en avait bigrement besoin et puis surtout je bosse sur des projets secrets qui vont envoyer du lourd (je parle de BD, pas de frappes nucléaires hi, hi). J’ai quand même eu le temps de vous torcher un petit compte-rendu du festival de Saint-Amand qui a eu lieu le 24 mars dernier, dans la ville du même nom. Merci aux organisateurs,
