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

Une élection présidentielle que l’on peut qualifier d’historique, une
crise économique qui l’est autant, et même la fameuse Hannah Montana herself
n’ont pas été en mesure de saisir la 1ère dans le classement annuel
des termes de recherche requêtés sur Yahoo. Au lieu de cela, pour la 7ème
fois en 8 ans, ce titre sera attribué à Britney Spears !
Dans son announce, Yahoo essaye d’expliquer ce résultat “En 2008,
elle a fait un retour avec un nouvel album, trois MTV Music Awards, une apparition en guest dans
un sitcom et un documentaire autobiographique”. Certes, cela peut sans doute expliquer cet
engouement envers la chanteuse mais on est en droit de se poser des questions surtout
lorsqu’on voit le Top 10 du moteur de rechercher qui inclut un bon panel de
représentants de people: Miley Cyrus, Jessica alba, Lindsay Lohan, angelina Jolie ou
American Idol (l’émision qui cartonne partout dans le monde), Obama n’arrive
qu’en 3ème résultat de recherche.
En plus des termes les plus recherchés Yahoo a établi un ranking des politiciens,
athlètes olympiques, femmes, termes économiques… les plus populaires.
Ne pensez pas que la fascination pour les “peoples” est propre à Yahoo,
souvenez vous des search rankings for 2007 de Google, Britney était également
numéro 3 avec American Idol, Anna Nicole Smith et autres Paris Hilton en tête de
liste. Il est clair c’est chauffeurdebuzz et PurePeople qui ont tout compris, on n’est clairement pas dans le bon business

pEditors note: Marine geophysicist Robin Bell is leading an expedition to Antarctica to explore a
mysterious mountain range beneath the ice sheet. Following is the fifth of her updates on the
effort as part of ScientificAmerican.coms in-depth report on the quot;Future of the
Poles.quot;/ppMcMURDO STATION, ANTARCTICA -- In the U.S. Thanksgiving, with the traditional turkey
dinner, is held on a Thursday. Here in Antarctica, the festive meal for the 1000 residents of
McMurdo is served the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The Saturday holiday provides a rare two-day
weekend for a community that works at a grueling pace. This Thanksgiving Saturday brings a howling
blizzard up the McMurdo Sound. The lsquo;Turkey Trotrsquo; out onto the sea ice is postponed
because of the increasing winds and decreasing visibility. Even our Canadian gravity engineers have
been driven away from the survey aircraft. While they were eager to move forward, it seemed
imprudent to stay in the canvas-sided building wobbling in the wind. The 50-knot wind is buffeting
the sides of the Crary Lab and the normally spectacular view of the Royal Society Mountain Range is
gone. The Crary Lab is a modern science building that could be on any university campus except that
the front doors look like a walk-in freezer. The blizzard has all the scientists holed up in the
Crary Lab. a

Pownce, the microblogging service often compared to
Twitter, has been acquired by Six Apart. According to the company blog, the service
will be shutdown on December 15th, while the main Pownce team – Leah Culver
and Mike Malone – will join Six Apart. Users will have the option to
“import [their] posts to other blogging services such as Vox, TypePad, or WordPress.”
The brainchild of Culver and Digg founder Kevin Rose, Pownce launched with much fanfare in 2007. But
despite the early buzz and in many ways a superior feature-set, the service hasn’t been
able to gain nearly the type of traction as the darling of short-form messaging
– that of course being Twitter.
It doesn’t sound like Six Apart has aspirations to revamp Pownce and take on Twitter
either. They echo the sentiment that this deal is more about acquiring talent from Pownce,
writing, “we are very sorry the site will be closing ... We’re planning
on doing great things with the help and expertise of the Pownce team, and can’t wait to see
all the results of their hard work.”
Kevin Rose and Daniel Burka will also be joining Six Apart as advisers as part of the deal.
