Près de deux ans se seront écoulés depuis la fin
d’Inri, deuxième volet du Triangle
secret, avec la publication en mars prochain du premier tome des
Gardiens du sang, troisième cycle – ou
saison, c’est la mode – de la saga ésotérique conduite
par Didier Convard. Denis Falque sera chargé de la
plupart des dessins sur un tome qui se passera essentiellement de nos jours, avec
l’assassinat d’une huile du Vatican par un mystérieux tueur au service de la
foi.
Sans même entrer
dans le vif du sujet, Bottomless Belly Button, roman graphique de
Dash Shaw, en impose par
ses mensurations : 720 pages, un dos de 5,5 cm sur lequel on trouve une foultitude d’infos,
bref, une sacrée bête. Acclamé meilleure bande dessinée
indépendante de l’année aux USA, le pavé édité par
Fantagraphics arrive aux
éditions Çà et là pour 30 €, un an
après la sortie du tout aussi imposant Château l’Attente.
Mais rien à voir ici avec de la fantasy médiévale, Bottomless Belly
Button flirte du côté de la chronique sociale iconoclaste à
travers les aventures de la famille Loony, qu’on croirait presque sortie d’un film de
Wes Anderson, genre Famille Tenenbaum. Il faut dire qu’après 40 ans
de mariage, les parents Loony annoncent leur divorce, et réunissent tout le monde dans la
maison familiale. Fantaisie parmi d’autres, Peter, le cadet de la famille, apparaît
la quasi-totalité du bouquin sous les traits d’une grenouille –
même s’il nous a fallu un quart du livre pour comprendre que ses narines
n’étaient pas ses yeux ! –, en écho à sa position
de loser que ce soit sur le plan professionnel ou sentimental. Lui, comme les autres, va vivre un
séjour riche en rebondissements tapant au cÅ“ur de ses complexes. À la
fin, tous les personnages auront évolué de façon perceptible.
Varié et hétéroclite, tant sur les thèmes que sur le plan visuel,
avec des mises en pages éclatées pour rythmer les différentes parties et de
nombreux jeux graphiques avec des onomatopées d’ambiances “musique à
fond” et de mouvements “emmêle”, les 720 pages se lisent d’une
traite. Pourtant, Bottomless Belly Button aura du mal à
séduire ceux pour qui les histoires qui mènent en voyage dans la psyché des
personnages ne font ni chaud ni froid. Reste qu’en la matière, grâce à
ses trouvailles graphiques et à sa façon de traiter de façon simple les
choses complexes, le roman graphique de Dash Shaw est ce qui s’est fait de mieux cette
année !
À la façon de l’Étrangleur de
Tardi chez Casterman, Carabas s’essaye au format tabloïd en proposant
une histoire courte de Low Moon, le nouveau Jason, déjà
dispo chez l’éditeur dans un petit format de 180 pages vendu 20 euros. Cette version
allégée, proposée 3 euros au format journal, nous fait profiter en
très grand format des situations cocasses imaginées par Jason, soit un western
où le jeu d’échec semble avoir remplacé les bons vieux colts
poussiéreux. À cela s’ajoutent les habituels running gags et les innombrables
comiques de situation. Forcément Jasonesque.
En deux mots : Western et mat De Jason, aux éditions Carabas - 20 pages - 3 € (visuel

Reuters: Clearwire
to use “Clear” brand instead of “Xohm” —
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Clearwire Corp said on Monday that it would call its high-speed wireless
WiMax service “Clear” instead of the “Xohm” brand its venture partner
Sprint Nextel has been using. — The new name was announced after Clearwire

Kevin Johnson is one day away from officially taking office and the challenges he'll face as the
Mayor of Sacramento dwarf any on-court maneuverings he performed as an All-Star point guard with
the Phoenix Suns. With unemployment at a 10-year high, the city's crime rate reaching record
numbers and the school system in need of a reset, Johnson is running full speed ahead in tackling
the city's critically important issues. It's also no surprise that one of the NBA's premier assist
men is asking the citizens to lend a hand in volunteerism and philanthropy. Emphasizing public
service, those attending Johnson's public swearing-in ceremony last Tuesday at Memorial Auditorium
were required to either sign up and volunteer or donate to the Sacramento Food Bank. The native
Sacramentean spoke to NBA.com's John Hareas just days before he is to take oath at the City Council
meeting and discussed a number of topics including his vision for the city, which former NBA
players were instrumental in his campaign and why his friend, President Elect Barack Obama, would
be wise not to challenge him in a game of one on one.

Porsche is taking huge swings, and not just at the giant that is Volkswagen. Porsche head Wendelin
Wiedeking had fierce Teutonic words for General Motors and Ford, and banks. His emRindfleisch/em -
beef, that is - with U.S. automakers is that, through unsound practices, they have thrown
absolutely everything into turmoil. In the words of the Guardian, in fact, they have driven "the
industry to the brink of ruin." br /br /Those are big and perhaps hyperbolic words. But he then
singles out GM for "openly threatening" the U.S. Government with bankruptcy, and predicts a hedge
fund will take control of "one of the U.S. car manufacturers." Since Chrysler is already controlled
by a hedge fund, that only leaves GM and Ford as the possible subjects of that comment. We can't
imagine a hedge fund trying to swallow GM or Ford, especially after Cerberus has taken such a
beating with Chrysler that seemingly all they can say is "Must... find... the exit."br /br
/Wiedeking is on more Earthly ground when he talks about the little guys, suppliers, who are
quietly going under -- even though many of them ran their business correctly -- due to the banks'
refusal to lend money while the clash of automotive titans continues. In a quote that people in
many different industries can applaud, he says "We need banks to give credit, not just talk about
credit ratings but start real actual lending to companies." Amen. emThanks for the tip, Sonny!/embr

On one hand, these all look pretty inefficient. On another, shouldn't you have less wind,
drivetrain, and surface resistance to overcome per person on a well-designed setup like
this compared to single-person bicycles?
