This cartoon belongs to these occasions where I think I’m making a very obvious joke on our tendency to destroy our own world by means of showing a post-apocalyptic scenario. Breaking it into two strips (for the same price, guys!), in order to have the punchline come as a surprise after the premise had been established in the first one was -I assumed- a very obvious narrative trope that everyone would understand. As it turned out, my ability to make understandable drawings -or tell a straightforward story- is much less than stellar, and nobody got it. Oh, well. Still, for Franco-Belgian comic book fans, the homage to Franquin’s ‘Idees Noires’ (see below) should be obvious -as should my lack of talent to do anything that looks even a fraction as good as his masterful drawings.
Well, I think the ‘Howard Roach’ pun was funny, at least.

Yep, it’s all André Franquin, one of the most intelligent cartoonists, but at the same time it’s Klaus as well. Congratulations to this new “idees noires”.
Thank you so much! I miss his ‘idees noires’, certainly…
