Additionally, Similarly, In exchange for a pizza, he implored them to erect a paper cathedral. Meanwhile, Thus, begins on the bark hats the reboot Galerie. However,

End your tuque with spit, it takes buffer bas-canada off on a way.

Dust folklore

In addition to having fun of conventions. Nevertheless, to twist history, in particular through tasty references to popular culture, what does this material allow them to explore?

“It is through these books, with Alexandre, that I most think about my identity and my culture. Furthermore, This is an opportunity to measure myself with our best pieces of folklore. Similarly, dust them, dismantle them, repair them, paint them in flash yellow and put a Hello Kitty sticker on it. Moreover, To put our references. Consequently, our values and our voice, it is really for me a way of propeling Quebec culture to the future. Nevertheless, Show that it is a very malleable material in fact. It is not all to keep it, it must be transformed and adapted, ”explains Xavier Cadieux.

“The idea of a frozen folklore. fundamentally conservative that should be preserved at all buffer bas-canada costs and respect to the letter annoys me to the highest point. If we can no longer touch it, if we can no longer brew it, question it and have fun with … then he is dead. Folklore is popular culture. it seems to me that interest, precisely, is to inject this vital energy which places it in dialogue with the present. A culture, it fluctuates, it opens and it changes. Otherwise, it dies or worse, it becomes flat, ”adds Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau.

Whether it is winks to Fast. dangerous, Star Wars or Mario mapthe annihilation of the fourth wall, the removal of the narrator during adventure and the repeated interruption of the story by Satan who tastes his biographers, the authors make every effort to make it memorable.

Play one’s all

This second folk exploration is an opportunity for the duo to thwart expectations. to give us for each buffer bas-canada invested shield.

“The book was written over a period of five years. So there are perhaps ruptures that arise from this somewhat chaotic writing rhythm. I think that is what makes, to a certain extent, that it is as generous. There is probably the momentum of two or three pounds hiding in the final result. As if. each time, I came back to this scenario with the energy that we normally put on a brand new project. There are ideas that I would never have had if I had not left this story ferment in my. head for five years. But this is something that worried, too: was we going to feel the covers and the interruptions? I didn’t want it to be completely disjointed either … No more than that is already, in any case, “explains the screenwriter.

The Verve de Fontaine Rousseau inspires a doubt in its illustrator.

“The legend of the Galerie Hunting took us on the trap. we brought ourselves there with a little the desire to make Pitoune and Putin And laugh a good blow, but the legend this time, sorry Jos Montferrand, is really epic and visually super strong and specific, so it pulls up. Alex has really laid a rich text of actions. adventures, very funny, but relatively less cabochon than it could have, we got into the game. I also took the reader in pity. we must be able to understand what we look at when we talk about several canoes with each three distinct characters, one of which is a beaver and the other a demonic monster farting the mouth of the river Super mario mapthere was no way to take it too close. I worked very immediately after the closure of my previous album The worst moments of historyat the buffer bas-canada end I was between 4. 7 pages per day to be able to respect my dates of fall. It’s not a diet, I swear. But I am very satisfied with what I have delivered. ”

With reason, because a cadieux, graphically generous, offers us the best album in his career.

Rodging, our terroir legends? Certainly not with these two joyful people. What treatment does they reserve for the legends of the Coriveau or Latulipe Rose? Only time-and maybe Satan-will tell us.
