Ha, that’s funny, I didn’t even know that he wrote his biography. I’ve actually never read les Cités obscures (I’ve been meaning to give it a try for years and I always forget), so I mainly know Peeters and Schuiten as “the people who decorated the Arts-et-Métiers station on line 11”.

As a child, I actually had a poster from Mary la penchée on my wall — during, like, ten years. It’s so stupid that I’ve never read it.

According to this webpage, it’s from the 8th album, La Mauvaise Tête, which I’ve never read. Fantasio has been framed for theft and Spirou is trying to prove his innocence.

I love seeing Spip jump. Squirrels are so graceful.

I kind of feel for Misabel, there. That doesn’t look fun at all.

I thought the whole “let’s pretend we’re criminals” game would make Misabel freak out, but she reacted so disdainfully, ha ha.

The second panel is hilarious.

Oh no, I’m sorry. I don’t know much about that, but it must be really stressful.

Oh, I hope little Pimple’s not going to get its heart broken. :-(

Thanks to your comment, I’ve learned about the -le prefix and unlocked a new word. I’m going to bed satisfied. :)

Ha, I hadn’t spotted those pictures until reading your comment. Good job, detective.

je porte systématiquement une paire de gants et une de ces combinaisons et bonnet blanc qui te fait ressembler à un spermatozoïde géant et bipède

Maintenant que j’ai lu ça, je vais systématiquement t’imaginer en tenue de Frère Jacques.

je dois preparer une conférence de 20min sur le logiciel libre en LSF pour la semaine prochaine 😭

Pas facile, courage !

That’s an interesting theory, but they don’t look like they’re part of the same species. (They could still be adopted sisters, I guess.) Also, her letters don’t seem scary at all (15/82).

Edit: But I just realised that they have very similar names.

Ah ouais, ça approche ! :-) Courage à Madame.

Le gilet est mignon comme tout.

I wasn’t expecting that!

Merci, je retiens !

Le lien ne marche pas pour moi.

Je ne sais pas trop, mais en tout cas le gentil monsieur m’a enlevé l’antivol. Victoire.

Je remarque que toi non plus tu n’as pas d’avatar sur Lemmy. :-)

Ha ha, mais qu’est-ce que j’ai regardé. Il y a des répliques à ressortir là-dedans. Je n’ai aucun souvenir d’avoir vu ça passer à la télé.

Pourquoi IBM faisait-il de la pub à Linux, du coup ?

Emoji are fine though; emoji are cool.

Emoji are the devil. 😠😠😠😠😠

I actually think it’s an interesting idea. We’re prone to click on a lot of links while browsing a page, going down a rabbit hole, spending way too much time there and regretting it later. If we had to copy and paste every link (which is still very quick to do, it’s not as if we had to type the whole thing), would we end up having more control about our internet media consumption? Having to take three seconds to copy and paste the link in my address bar might make me reconsider whether I actually want to visit that page right now, instead of just doing it out of habit. I don’t know if that’s really part of the motivation for “text-only links”, and I don’t think I would make that choice for my website if I had one, but I still find it interesting.

And really, the lack of clickability is not a huge step back, just a small, minor one, considering how quick and reliable it is to copy and paste. It’s in no way comparable to printed media, where you’d have to manually copy the reference and then go look it up in a bookshop or library.

That said, I am concerned about how it may affect accessibility. I’m very ignorant about those things, but I suspect it would be a hassle for people using a screen reader?
