Belgian striptalent suffocate each other in the germ
BRUSSELS - België gladly sees itself as the cradle of the stripverhaal. The country
has colleges for striptekenaars, there is stripmuseum and strips to be
even the object of scientific essays. Where remain then
nevertheless the continuators of Kuifje, Lucky Luke and Guust boathook?
To striptekenaars in spe no lack in België. Annual writing itself
the schools specialised around the fifty firsts at.
result of that training impulse is see in the bookshop. Between
three - and four hundred new albums appeared last year in België,
an absolute record. Measured towards the number of titles by inhabitant the country is
with that number één in the world.
For the starting draughtsman that wide choice is a calamity, lays Pascal Lefèvre
from. He is oprichter of the first nederlandstalige profession training for
striptekenaars, Sint-Lukas in Brussels. The start level present is
this way high and the competition is this way fel, which you must be able yourself prove directly.
Willem the Graeve, deputy director of the Belgian centre of
picture tale (the stripmuseum) in Brussels, is still more pessimistic.
requirements precede this way high which recover, which you it can forget if you
chance misses. I believe that there each day a new strip appears in België
and that is too much. It makes it too difficult for young draughtsmen for itself at
to launch.
The Graeve remind that the first albums of the old masters not
immediately a tremendous success was. Hergé of Kuifje has years
done its eventual reach style.Both specialists
to consider the chance that new reinflation draughtsmen kicks it up to that point as in former days
Franquìn (Guust) or Morris (Lucky Luke) nil.
Large editors such as Dupuis (robbedoes, Guust) and standard publisher (Suske
and Wiske, Nero) have the good cartoonisten for selecting. Editors
to put draughtsmen who do not prove themselves enough fast aside. Thus got
draughtsman of Suske and Wiske, Marc Verhaegen, a month dismissal suffered.
Authors must produce their money and gladly a beetje rapidly. Kinder
the editors old but proved successes to herlanceren such as robbedoes, Kuifje
and the Smurfen then money and time to invest in a young dog which itself still
has not proved.
De tijd dat albums oplages bereikten van een half miljoen is al lang
voorbij. Concerning the future of the stripverhaal the experts are however
undivided optimistic. Strips are their monopoly of in former days
beetje lost by the rise of new vrijetijdsbestedingen such as the TV and
computer, but enters an average house family and you finds there strips
, thus Lefèvre.
He thinks, however, that the verschijningsvorm changes. It is possible no longer
that a strip appears as a thing on itself, it will go paired with
film and other merchandising. That to see you also in Japan where the world of
film and ' manga ' (tekenfilmpjes) with each other interweave its.Pokémon and
the ' Turtles ' are longer suffered of it an example.
But not lamented, because also for the old-fashioned recovering stripboek à drawer
Kuifje are it according to Lefèvre not yet late: If your sufficient
tales can make are there a future for the traditional album. But good
narrators are more difficult find than good draughtsmen.
Lefèvre, itself to the university gone up on Suske and Wiske, fights
for the recognition of the picture tale as adult kunstvorm.
The Netherlands and Flanders strips are still too much considered as a child thing.
