Any fans of Batman among you? I'm not really into superheroes, I have never been an avid reader of superhero comic books, whether they are DC or Marvel. That said, I really like Batman and, if I had to choose my favourite superhero, it would of course be him. I have a few Batman graphic novels, mostly somewhere on the bookshelves in my parents place. Batman is the only superhero comic I actually bought. I also borrowed a few titles from the local library. So anyway, I learned recently that it is Batman Day today. I don't have any Batman comics here, except Knightfall, a present from my wife. I might check it before bed. Otherwise, any Batman fans among you?

Mafalda in Montreal
My blogging friend Debra from She Who Seeks kindly sent me recently this bit of news from Montreal: Mafalda, one of my favourite cartoon characters, will have her own statue in Montreal. It will be the very first non Spanish speaking city to erect one. (Eat your heart out, Paris!) Furthermore, and I think it is important to my readers to know, is that she is finally getting a proper English translation. Because while Mafalda is extremely famous in the hispanic world, being from Argentina and all, and in the francophone world, thanks to... Well, I guess good translators, but I can safely say that the forever six-year-old Argentinian little lady connected with a lot of people from my generation. I blogged about her time and again in French, so I will try to keep it short here. I love Mafalda because she is a humanist, because she is uncompromising, because she questions and challenges the adult world and is never afraid to speak her mind. She has a temper, she is wise beyond her years, yet in the same time she remains sensitive, like a child should be. So yeah, I am so very happy that Montreal is going to have a monument to her. Welcome to my city, little lady.

Mafalda s'en vient
Grâce notamment à la la page Facebook officielle de Mafalda, je peux suivre au moins un peu l'arrivée (encore lointaine) de la série télévisée sur Netflix. Bon, c'est encore très fragmentaire, mais nous avons quand même eu droit à un trailer, qui est vraiment plus un teaser, parce que c'est vraiment très court. Je n'ai pu trouver de sous-titres nulle part, ni en français ni en anglais, mais j'ai trouvé quelque part sur YouTube un doublage (grâce à l'intelligence artificielle?) en anglais. Dans tous les cas, je vous partage ce nouveau teaser, en espérant qu'il y en aura d'autres.

Tarowean
Nous sommes la Toussaint, par conséquent je cite le début de La ballade de la mer salée d'Hugo Pratt. C'est une tradition sur ce blogue. Il faudrait d'ailleurs que je relise le bouquin.

About the Great Pumpkin
I thought I would give my readers something heartwarming for today's countdown to Halloween. I found on YouTube this video giving quite a lot of information about It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.It tells you a few trivial facts, but also explains why it became such beloved Halloween classic for children and why it is so compelling, even today. I, of course, really love it.
