Gabrielle &amp; Tom K read the work of Olivier Schrauwen. We admire how Schrauwen's playful deadpan optimism underpins much darker themes and stories. The wide-ranging discussion touches on Rodolphe Töpfer, Physiognomy, Michel Houellebecq, mental trolling, music in comics, Yuichi Yokoyama, and the colonial history of Belgium. Join us to hear how Schauwen's work restored our faith in comics! Works read: MOME 12, Parallel Lives, Arsene Schrauwen (all available from Fantagraphics).

Olivier Schrauwen's Physiognomy

It's round-up time! Tucker's reading the Ladronn Cable, Chris is reading Umma's Table, Matt is reading Olivier Schrauwen's Sunday and Joe's reading Magician A by Natsuko Ishitsuyo. Is there a connective thread between this variety of works? Hell yes there is!

Marian Churchland

Last year I joined the board of Directors for the Vancouver Comic Art Festival. It’s been really fun getting more involved in supporting local events and comics happening. The first event we did outside of the regular festival, was this talk with Anna Haifisch, Olivier Schrauwen and Marian Churchland. We did the event in the new theatre in the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library. Many thanks to Fantagraphics for facilitating the visit from Anna and Olivier and to the VPL for hosting.

Live talk with Anna Haifisch, Marian Churchland and Olivier Schrauwen

When I asked for interview suggestions for my five day work trip to Berlin, Comics Reporter Tom Spurgeon suggested Olivier Schrauwen, heaping praise upon the Belgian expat and categorizing him among the top living cartoonists.And indeed, the trip halfway around the world afforded a rare opportunity to speak with the Arsene Schrauwen cartoonist, who, in spite of growing acclaim within the comics literati, hasn’t granted all that many interviews over the years — particularly with the English speaking press. Schrauwen agreed, meeting me at Modern Graphics, a wonderful independent comics shop located in the German city’s Kreuzberg district. He arrived on his bicycle after I’d just finished spending some ungodly number of Euros purchasing an armful of comics and minis. We found a sidewalk cafe on the corner and drank beers as trendy Berliners passed by on their way to do some afternoon shopping. An ideal setting for an utterly fascinating conversation with a singular cartoonist.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 132: Olivier Schrauwen

Belgium born cartoonist, Olivier Schrauwen joined me to discuss his work, including the Man Who Grew His Beard. We also covered a plethora of upcoming work like The Greys and the book he is doing about his Grandfather, Arsene Schrauwen that will most likely be available at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest in November and at finer stores like Bergin St Comics, Floating World or Desert Island.
