Angoulême - Festival de la BD


Here is Martin reading up on his parents. Oh la blague!
Actually, this is a book with a cheeky spin on palentology. Martin likes the kind of comic book that suggests another version of history like in Bloc 109, for example, i.e. Nazi-Germany wins the Second World War.
This book, however, is a lot less dark. The narrator is given a very authoritative voice and tells us quite plainly that he is a palentologist and shows us his PhD as proof. He then goes off to say that paleontologists of the past have made some enormous and unforgivable errors in the way they assembled the dinosaur bones they found. He then shows us a picture of the ensemble of triceratops bones and rearranges them in another drawing to show us the right way they should have been assembled. The result is a ridiculous animal with an impossible morphology.
