RDV aux urnes II le retour

Une BD en dix cases en noir et blanc avec Clairikine, un personnage blanc avec une coupe muet portant une chemise à carreaux, qui parle pendant 10 cases en s'addressant aux lecteurices. Première case: Alors je sais que j’avais dit que je ne posterais plus de BD en intégrale sur Insta, mais à l’instar du président qui avait promis d’honorer le vote barrage qui l’a élu et réélu j’ai changé d’avis, parce que là je pense que c’est le moment de fournir une petite minute perso

Waters

A one-panel illustration in black and white of Claire (short hair, plaid shirt) sitting on top of a boat on water in a dark, starless night, facing away from the camera. The boat is the same one as the one seen at the end of Clairikine's comic "Boxes". Text in white letters to the bottom right of the panel, just under the limit between the water and the sky, reads "Why won't You let me see You?". The "you" in the text is capitalized.

Karsamstag vibes.

Hourly Comics Day 2024 minus three

I didn't have time on February 1 this year, so I drew these a few days early. Enjoy!

A black-and-white comic. First panel: 00:00, Claire scrolls the website "wiewardertatort.de" (how was the Tatort) on their couch. The answer is 4 out of 10, which is fair 00:30 - 1:00 lie awake 8:00 up and scrolling phone on the couch again 9:00 make egg. A soft-boiled egg cooks on the stove while "if you're gonna go then go but go with caution" plays (lyrics are from Alkaline Trio's "Shake With Me" 10:00 breakfast - Claire, in a plaid shirt, eats from a tray on the couch with two glasses on another tray beside them. Dialogue comes from the big-screen television: "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!" "Giiirrrrl!" 11:00 laundry, Zelda, podcast - Link stands on a large tree root in the dark, with a barrel fused to a stick hanging off his shoulder. Something like a lantern shining off in the distance. A caption says "I live for this shit"

Wrote this sometime in the summer of 2023. Nothing new under the sun, tbh.

Walls

A two-panel comic in black and white. In the first panel, Claire is standing inside a small circle-shaped wall about as tall as her knees, staring down at it and saying "Hmmmm... Looks like it's safe to lower these walls". In the second panel, the wall shoots up so high that Claire is hidden, making a "woosh" sound. A speech bubble rises out of the top of the circular wall, saying "Just kidding haha."

One from the vault! Woosh.

Tuesday Fanart: John-Allison Weiss, "Wait For Me"

A three-panel comic in black and white with lyrics from John-Allison Weiss' "Wait For Me". In the first panel, Claire, a white person with short hair, is sitting in grass overlooking a valley with trees, a small river and mountains in the background with some snow on them. Text over the mountains says "I'm missing out on all the places I could go" The second panel shows a wooden table with two nearly-empty cocktails, two half-eaten bowls of snacks, two smartphones and a couple zines or sheets of paper. The text above says "the people I could know" The third panel shows Claire lying down on an L-shaped couch at night with one arm on their stomach, one behind their head and one knee up. The text above says "the nights I'm not alone".

Not waiting for anyone specific, just deemed these lyrics to be a vibe when I drew this.

Clairikine + HX hit ComicInvasion 2022

A black-and-white comic titled "Clairikine + HX do Comic Invasion 2022". In the first panel, Claire is sitting at their table at Comicinvasion wearing a jeans jacket and a shirt that says "Thrice". Someone next to them says "Hi! I'm Claire" and Claire responds "Me too!" In the second panel, Claire and HX are sitting next to each other at their tables. Claire says " 'HX' table - where group projects go to die' and HX says "Ha ha ha. That's going in the autobiographical comic" In the third panel, a visitor tells Claire "I like your shirt! I really like seeing other queer folks who are into rock music." Claire thinks "Well this has made my entire day." The fourth panel has the caption "Vibing with other SPN fans". Claire is standing next to two people, one of which is wearing a shirt with the words "Carry On" against a ring of fire and above a Chevy Impala. Claire is clasping her hands and saying "OMG your shirt!!", with a caption pointing at her saying "on season 14". The fifth panel has the caption "5:30 vibes" and the text "the lights are on, but nobody's home". It shows Claire sitting at their table with eyes of two different sizes, staring into the void. The sixth panel shows Lara (wearing a "Yay Comics!" shirt), HX and Claire sitting around a table with drinks. HX says "We're doing a bit where we see who the first person to draw it is... it's Claire". Claire is looking at a blank sketchbook page with a pen in her hand. The seventh panel shows Claire drawing into the sketchbook while frowning and saying "This right here is why I never finish any of my long-form projects." Lara asks "The spontaneous stuff?" and Claire says "This spontaneous shit."

Two comics panels in black and white. In the first panel, Claire is tabling, and a visitor is pointing at their zines and asking "So tell me, which one is your favorite?" Claire responds "Oh! I love all my children equally." The second panel has the caption "5 minutes later" and shows Claire at her table, thinking "I don't care for Gob"

A four-panel comic in black and white. In the first panel, Claire and Lara are standing around a table that has been placed upside down and only has one leg left on it. Claire says "It's like the sword in the stone!" In the second panel, Lara reaches down to grab the table leg and says "For the honor..." In the third panel, she shouts "...of Grayskull!!" and is holding the table leg up in the air like She-Ra would hold her sword. In the fourth panel, Claire says "Can I put that in a comic" and Lara says "Sure!" as she walks away carrying the table leg.

ComicInvasion 2023 is nigh, so here are some comics chronicling my weekend at CIB22 in the presence of HX and friends! That's kickass festival director Lara demonstrating leadership in action in the final panels.

I have since then finished the television show Supernatural, be sure to ask for my Thoughts About The Finale at my table on May 6 & 7 at the Museum for Communication!
