So sorry, my provider went for a hissy fit just as I went on holiday with not enough internet to do anything about it. It&#8217;s fixed now, but if anybody has a good, cheap host they can recommend?\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis was the first time I&#8217;ve been on holiday with my family since (thinks) 1994, back when we we&#8217;re last all living together. This time, we instead got my foster brother and his family, my sister and her family, as well as my parents and youngest brother; luckily we weren&#8217;t all staying in the same holiday house, but it was still a concentrated blast of family I hadn&#8217;t experienced in a long time. Fun was had by all, but two weeks were just long enough for me. It&#8217;s interesting to spent so much time together now we&#8217;re all in our thirties and see how easily we still somehow slip in our old roles sometimes&#8230;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnyway, going to France meant of course buying some comics; and unlike the last time we went on holiday there, this didn&#8217;t mean buying French copies of Marvel titles (I was fourteen). Instead I went to a very nice comics shop in Montpellier, Azimuts, where the woman vbehind the counter was very enthusiastic about Baru, also one of my favourite cartoonists. So here&#8217;s what I got:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Several volumes of <a href=\"http:\/\/english.bouletcorp.com\/\">Boulet<\/a>&#8216;s <cite>Notes<\/cite> series<\/li>\n<li>The first volume of Trondheim&#8217;s <cite>Petit Riens<\/cite>.<\/li>\n<li>Two Moebius collections<\/li>\n<li>The last volume of <cite>Adele Blanc-sec<\/cite><\/li>\n<li>Two Baru books recommended to me: <cite>Fais p\u00e9ter les basses, Bruno!<\/cite> and <cite>Qu\u00e9quette blues<\/cite><\/li>\n<li>Finally, <cite>Le Bleu est une Couleur Chaude<\/cite> by Julie Maroh, which has already been made into a movie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThat last one is the one I&#8217;m most excited about, though it&#8217;s hard reading what with my fairly limited high school French. Oh well, at the very least I can look at the artwork, which is brilliant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat I also noticed in France was how manga were everywhere; even the local hypermarket had several shelves full of them, more than of French comics, with all the popular series (One Piece, Naruto, etc) you&#8217;d expect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/?p=4708&#038;preview=true<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comix","category-posts-interesting-only-to-me"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4708"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4710,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4708\/revisions\/4710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
