As tempting as it is, I won't post any pages for copyright reasons, but at least here you can get a little peek at how the pages look (Spirou on top, Tchô beneath):\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/bxlsloot3-5987fae498.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/bxlsloot2-f1b6c30b17.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI wasn't impressed by the \u003Ca href=\"http://www.tcho.fr\">Tchô\u003C/a> website, but \u003Ca href=\"http://www.spirou.com\">Spirou\u003C/a>'s website lets you see some drawings by the contributors (click \u003Ci>auteurs\u003C/i> on their navigation strip - this is a seriously good link).\\r\n\\r\nAnd this morning was so wonderful because the postman brought a parcel from \u003Ca href=\"http://chamonkee.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">chamonkee\u003C/a> in Sheffield with this fantastic drawing on it! I am so keeping this for when he's famous, but then I still won't give it away. \\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chamonkee_env-936db1da96.jpg\">\\r\nI'm feeling very humbled because I only drew on his envelope very fast with a blunt Sharpie.... sorry, Will, I'll do better next time!
