Could that stuff run in Fluide Glacial now?
EB: No, no, it was bad! If a young person were to show up with the drawings I started out with, if he were to arrive on the scene with that stuff, he would never make the grade, never, never… Those first stories I did, they were done almost completely without words, they were incomprehensible, that was true Japanese there, and without translation! (laughter) JB: Do you plan to work with a writer again? EB: No, like I said, I won’t have enough time in my whole life to do all I want to do. But after all you can’t swear to anything. I say yes to things all the time. If I come across a text that’s really — but I don’t think I will… For example, the comics with Lob, that was really done out of friendship. So imagine something done out of friendship like that, and that that sort of thing comes up once in a while. So yes, I could do that, it could happen.
