This time last year, I was very fortunate to participate in Rendez vous du carnet de voyage
in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It was the first time ever that
I brought my comics to an arts convention. I made many friends and met a
lot of great people. One of the great people I met was Mr. Michel
Renaud, founder of the event. I remember clearly the
afternoon when he brought a delegation of French journalists to visit my
table, and to introduce me to all of them. I could not understand the
French language, but I understood the warm and kind gesture. Just short of two months later, the world we live in lost Mr. Renaud to the Chalie Hebdo
Shooting in Paris (He didn't even work for the magazine; he was just there for a meeting.). I am unable to visit Clermont-Ferrand this year, but I know the
people in this year's Rendez vous du carnet de voyage must all miss him tremendously. So I made this, just to be with my friends in spirit.
