Sempé

Today has been one of those days when blogging time is minimal – a late train this morning followed by a full day at work in London. Punctuated, I should say, by a very pleasant lunch with colleagues during which I told one or two people what a boost to my spirits my blog commenters are.

There is a lot of work to be done at the moment with freelance jobs and restarting Church Times cartoons, which is a good thing, but there is quite a bit of pressure.

I’d quite like to sit down with a Sempé book (Google if you haven’t come across him), but I am off to a church group. I can’t really complain about that, as the group in question is a help to morale.

Thanks for listening.

    Sempé – wonderful. I first encountered him via the Petit Nicolas series.

    Thanks for making the effort to blog when time was so limited. And especially thank you for the introduction to Sempé, and having googled him am delighted by what I see.

    Hi
    Just looked him up and found pages full of amazing cartoons, but the thing that mad me laugh most was the page header ‘this page is in Russian do you want to translate’

    Oh yes! Sempe is wonderful. There’s a wonderful book of his called Martin Pebble (Marcelin Caillou in the original French). Very nice use of red pen in that. :) )
