I did a four-page short comic for Le Lombard (Belgian publisher), it was a contribution to a big book project in French, featuring 24 other comic artists; an "advent calendar" book for Christmas. And yes, you have to cut the page every day in December to reveal a new story. I negotiated to have mine published on CC-By and made it using only FLOSS :linux: :krita: :inkscape: .

Book cover photo: a thick book (A4 size) of Santa struggling to manage his reindeer in a comical way and with a rounded comic line and colorful tone. Title: "La BD de l'Avent", French for Advent Comic as in a "Advent Calendar". In the background a comic page sample, half cut, with white speechbubbles (to not spoil the story). It represent a dialog between a postman and a young girl in front of a house during a snowy winter.

@davidrevoy I wonder if I could get this by mail order (and will it arrive on time)

David Revoy

@oblomov It sounds doable, but these are probably the last days for it if it takes 4 or 5 days to ship 🙂 .

Sorry for being a bit late with the info, I've known about the book since early November, but the two tablet reviews became so big on my plate that I sort of neglected everything else around it. Also, Christmas probably felt "not there yet" in my mind, but now I see it's in a month. 😅

@davidrevoy no problem. The page says it's not in stock anymore anyway, so the only way to find it seems to be to go physically at a bookseller that carries it 8-)

David Revoy

@oblomov Oh no. Good luck for finding it then 😔
I imagine "not in stock" at this period for a Christmas book is probably a sign that many liked the concept and bought it and the publisher couldn't anticipate printing such a big volume.

@oblomov
I found one via this website : librairies-nouvelleaquitaine.c.
There is only 2 books in 1 bookseller in Bordeaux. I will keep one of them next week.
