The rays of the setting sun skim the roof tops, from apartment windows a warm light shines,
shadows stretch into infinity,
In this magic moment, when the transition between day and night seems real enough to reach out and touch,
the moon is already in position... oh... Lord, I love this time spent with you...

You wouldn’t know it, but tonight, I’m out on a special ops mission... like a hunter full of confidence, I stalk the streets of my village. My weapon: a keen eye (my own, to boot),
And I’ve a feeling I’m going to be in luck in my quest to flush out my prey: a good DVD.

However, when I get to the video distributor at the corner of the street, something strange happens...
I push the buttons and: NADA!?!
(arrggh! This is the only distributor in the whole area!!)

Both of us are disappointed!
A low, indifferent-sounding voice spoke behind me, confirming:
-"it’s kaput all right!"
What have we here? The distributor owner, looking pretty despondent:
- "It’s a complete write-off, buddy, there’s nothing to be done about it! And the repair guy won’t be coming any time soon..."

I’m really upset and disappointed, oh...not so much for the DVD,
But because of something much more important:
Being able to spend a nice evening in with a movie, my wife, my spouse, myself and Alain Auderset (like, a whole bunch of us...)
-"No way! I’ve got other plans for you!!"

I place my two hands on the machine and in a commanding voice I say:

-"In the name of Jesus Christ, work!!!

I press the button and before the owner’s astonished gaze
the machine works and out pops the DVD I’ve chosen.

The distributor owner is open-mouthed in astonishment, caught in a world of confusion.
I get ready to go, as if nothing had happened, and to top it all
I toss out a casual goodbye:
- "Well, ok bud, have a nice evening!"

(hee hee! Giving non-believers the shock of their lives - that’s God’s and my little game…
(and He, in turn, has often played me at this game too, and won))

Winning thelottery! (yipes! unreal!)

The next day, I brought the DVD back to the store (the machine’s out of order again)
The owner points at me and shouts out, in front of all his customers:

- "There he is! That’s him! That’s the guy who talks to God!!"

And one after the other, they ask me if I can help them win the lottery,
promising that they’ll give half their winnings to the poor.
It’s like that scene in ‘les misérables’ (with Cosette in it, but the acting’s not as good)
They entreat me, telling me how much happiness this would give them.

Now, I’m the one who’s caught in a world of confusion...

Having God as a friend is so much more than that!
Why ask for so little!?

ps.
Seek out THE healer, rather than the cure,
the source of happiness, rather than happiness,
Jesus instead of just His miracles.
God instead of just His blessings

Because everything is in Him.

Hugs and kisses to you all,

Le soleil couchant rasant les toits, la lumière chaleureuse émanant des fenêtres d'appartements, les interminables ombres portées, cet instant magique au moment du passage sensible entre le jour et la nuit, la lune déjà en place... ha... Seigneur que j'aime ce moment avec toi...

On ne dirait pas, mais ce soir, je suis en mission commando...tel un chasseur sûr de son coup, j'arpente les rues de mon village. Je suis armé d'un œil avisé (le mien en plus), et je me sens en veine pour débusquer ma proie: une bonne vidéo.

Mais une fois arrivé au distributeur automatique du coin de la rue quelque chose d'étrange se produit... je presse les boutons et : RIEN!?!
(argl! c le seul fournisseur de la région!!)

Les deux déçus !
Une voix blasée au ton grave surgit derrière mon dos et confirme :
-"il est mort!"

Tiens? le proprio de l'appareil, il a l'air dépité:
- "C'est la totale mon gars, y 'a rien à faire! et le dépanneur n'est pas prêt de venir..."

Je suis trop contrarié, désenchanté, oh...pas tant pour la vidéo, mais pour quelque chose de bien plus précieux:
passer une soirée ciné sympa avec ma femme, mon épouse, moi-même et Alain Auderset (plein de monde quoi...)
- "ha non alors! Ça ne se passera pas comme ça!!"

J'impose mes deux mains sur la machine et avec autorité lui ordonne:

- "Au nom de Jésus-Christ, tu remarches!!!

Je presse le bouton et devant les yeux écarquillés du proprio,
la machine remarche et me livre la vidéo choisie.

Le proprio est bouche bée, paralysé dans un abime de perplexité.
L'air de rien, je m'en vais, et histoire de le finir définitivement,
je lui jette un nonchalant:

- "Bon bin, salut man, bonne soirée! "

(hi!hi! Traumatiser de l'incrédule, c notre petit kiff avec Dieu...
(et Lui, Il m'a souvent à ce petit jeux))

Gagner à la loterie! (purée! Dingue!)
Le lendemain, alors que je ramène la vidéo au magasin (la machine est à nouveau out)
le propriétaire s'écrie devant tout les clients en me pointant du doigt:

- "Le voilà! c'est lui! C'est le gars qui parle avec Dieu!!"

Et les uns après les autres de me demander de pouvoir gagner à la loterie,
me promettant de donner la moitié aux pauvres,
rejouant la scène des misérables («Cosette » en moins bien)
m'expliquant avec force combien leur bonheur en dépend.

Et maintenant, c'est moi qui suis paralysé dans un abime de perplexité...

Avoir Dieu pour ami, c'est tellement plus !
pourquoi en demander si peu!?

ps.
Cherchez LE guérisseur, plutôt que la guérison,
la source de la joie plutôt que la joie, 
Jésus plutôt que ses miracles. 
Dieu plutôt que ses bénédictions

Car tout est en Lui.

Je vous embrasse tous,
tendresse

- "Hey Alain! Ta BD, on l'a mise aux toilettes, là c'est sûr que les invités vont la lire !!!"

Et voici que sur Facebook, quelqu'un me dit:
qu'ils ont carrément customisé, ( remasterisé, Tunné, transformé, muté, ect..)
leur WC en BD Auderset ! 
Alors voilà,le concours est lancé:

Envoyez vos photos ! Je les mettrai régulièrement en ligne!

et à ceux qui auront les WC les plus belles, originales, démesurées, folles, efficaces, etc 

je leur envoie minimum une BD dédicacée avec des WC !
Les WC de Célia Dietrich
(ici le thème noir/blanc d'Idées reçues)
Nous vous en avions parlé, ça y est ! Nous avons refait nos WC avec un thème : l'univers Auderset ! Ou comment faire réfléchir nos invités sur le thème qui nous est le plus cher, la foi, dans l'endroit où ils s'y attendent le moins - et comment faire connaître le talent d'Alain à pleins de gens ! Les WC Auderset, avouez que ce sont les premiers au monde !?!
Alain, on a le droit à un autographe ou même à un dessin original pour mettre sous verre? Si tu veux venir couper le ruban rouge aussi on peut organiser un vernissage !
A tous les autres : vous êtes invités à l'exposition permanente, c'est gratuit et on vous paiera même un thé/café !

Saahsal on the mountain (a rock band)

Night had already begun to fall upon the towering mountain ranges of Switzerland, transforming them into an immensely imposing and somber mass. The brightly-lit villages nestling on the mountainsides and the town at their feet shone like fiery red lava flows.

The journey seemed to go on for ever, with our old bus (which I fear is not long for this world) hauling behind it a trailer filled with anti-blues bombs (some people also call it music and sound equipment). Our tortuous ascent takes us up narrow roads and hairpin bends. I drink in the deliciously unreal beauty of the countryside. It feels like I’m in a fantasy film. This evening we have a death-defying mission in a bar: 

turn up those decibels !

 

2nd day (living with...)
The invisible world


The next day, I was walking by myself in this fascinating upland forest in search of some peace and quiet and the chance to talk to God. All around me is foggy, just like my brain after last night’s concert


Supposedly, behind this thick veil of fog looms the majestic Alps, masters of all they survey, their streams bringing life-giving water that sustains EVERYTHING that lives... 
But today, I can’t see a THING !
Behind our thick veil of disbelief down here, 
You are also present...
Oh! Lord, I can’t wait to see you as you really are....
 

The forest-dweller


I have the sensation that I’m being watched... (I get the same feeling when I’m on stage) Oh! Just in front of me, stock-still and squatting upon two legs, a squirrel is looking at me, weighing me up. I know the slightest sudden movement will break the spell.
Sometimes we liken the Creator’s intelligence to that of an incredibly powerful computer (not running on Windows, OK!!!). This image is doubly misleading because God is so much more powerful than that, and, above all, a computer operates according to an unbending, cold set of rules... whereas God is sensitive, just like this squi... Oops ! Where did he go ?!

Gasps of admiration break out ! This WONDROUS BEAUTY was there, so close by, but up to then, we hadn’t seen it !!! The last wisps of clouds disappear from the summits, their smoky, vaporous quality almost making you think the mountain was boiling hot.

Saahsal sur la Montagne (c un groupe de rock)

La nuit nous avait précédés au pays des montagnes géantes.
Si bien qu’elles s'étaient mutées en d'immenses et imposantes masses noires.
Les villages illuminés à leur flan et la ville à leurs pieds resplendissaient telles des coulées de laves rougeoyantes.

Notre vieux bus en fin de vie tirait une remorque remplie d'explosif à dépression (autrement dit: du matos de musique)
nous grimpions péniblement sillonnant de petites routes.
J'avais l'impression d'être dans un film fantastique
et ce même soir on avait une mission: tout faire péter!

2ème jour (vie avec...)
Le monde invisible
Le lendemain, seul, je me promène dans cette fascinante forêt des hauteurs pour être tranquille et parler à Dieu.
Tout est embrumé comme dans mon cerveau après cette nuit de concert
( j'ai la tête dans le... là ou le bas du dos perd son nom, coa)

On m'a dit que derrière cette épaisse masse de brume trônent en maîtres absolus sur le paysage les Alpes majestueuses,
généreuses, nourrissant d'eau vive via ses torrents TOUT...mais aujourd'hui, je ne voit RIEN !

Derrière notre épaisse masse d'incrédulité d'ici bas... tu es là toi aussi...
Oh Seigneur, il me tarde de te voir vraiment....

L'habitant de la forêt
Je me sens observé... (ça m'arrive sur scène aussi)
Oh ! en face de moi, immobile, campé sur ses deux pattes un écureuil me jauge du regard.
Je sais que le moindre geste brusque mettra fin à la magie.

On compare parfois l’intelligence du Créateur à un ordinateur (sans Windows, OK!!!) surpuissant,
cette image est deux fois fausse, car il est bien au-delà,
et surtout l'ordi est d'une logique implacable, froide...
Alors que le Seigneur est quelqu'un de sensible comme cet écu... Oups! Il est où?!

La nuit déjà efface les lumières du jour,
les projecteurs de la scène de la boîte branchée où nous jouons prennent le relais.

C'est étrange, mais j'ai remarqué que l’écureuil m'a suivi...

3ème jour (face à face avec...)
L'heure du grand départ,
Le lendemain, toute l'embarcation de fortune est chargée, (souvenirs compris).
Nous partons saluant une dernière fois ceux qui nous ont accueillis...
et c'est ce moment que la montagne choisit pour se révéler à nous...

C'est l'admiration... Waow!
Toute CETTE MERVEILLE était là près de nous !!!
Les derniers nuages qui s'en échappent telles des vapeurs fumantes
donnent l'impression qu'elle est encore brûlante.

Je retourne à la maison,
je sais que mon Créateur y est déjà
telle une montagne géante invisible
et parfois, peut-être, sans avertir... je le verrai.

The film told the story of a King come from another world who had incredible magic powers, who was quiet and modest. Even though (in this film in any case) he never smiled, he genuinely loved the very worst type of human trash and lived alongside them (I mean people that the rest of society has rejected). He loved them so much…all his miracles were for them.

‒ But...but who is this guy!?

My father added:

‒ Moreover, it’s a true story.

‒ Huh!? I’ve never heard anything like this before! Why do we never talk about this? Wha...?

... Jesus...

 

The ‘trial’

The people could either vote for Barabas a murderer, who's got smelly feet to boot, or for Jesus.

The baddies had stirred the crowd up to shout:

‒ Barabas! Barabas!

There were only a few who were shouting for Jesus – just his mom, one or two friends and... me. I jumped up and down on my seat, shouting:

‒ Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

My father:

‒ Hey! Enough of that! It’s only a film!

 

What kind of world are we living in?!

Then the unthinkable happened: Barabas won...

What kind of world have I been born into? How could you find someone so innocent to be guilty? I couldn’t bear to see him being struck, spat upon, insulted, mistreated, having to carry this heavy beam in the shape of a cross…

He had been so kind to all these people... and they’re nailing him to it!

Wait, hey, stop! this can’t be happening!

With all his special powers,  with one breath he could wipe them from the face of the earth! But instead of doing that, he asks his dad, ‘God’ (#%?! So who’s that then?!):

‒ Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Me: BLAM!

 

But who is this guy!?

As I was weeping over his death, my father tried to put things into perspective:

‒ Huh! In any case, he comes alive again afterwards!

Whaaat?! But nobody ever comes back to life, at least.. What’s going on...?

 

‘Hi Alain, it’s me...’

Many years later, when I was a teenager I found some Christian comics in the trash (www.tournesol.ch). And it was only then, through my tears, that I understood that Jesus had undergone the cross of his own free will, through love for us….

... for me.

 

For them

I’ve been writing comics for over sixteen years now (and taking part in special events and other foolish things), giving me in turn frequent chances to share his message with others. It’s not an easy path to take, there is joy, but also mockery and hardships to be endured. When I feel like giving up, I find strength by remembering the two people for whom I do all of this, the little boy sitting upon a chair on that Easter evening who would have given anything to know more about Jesus...

and his God, who would have given anything to tell him more.

Cool! A l’occasion des fêtes de Pâques (l’anniversaire des lapins), mes parents m’avaient permis de veiller tard avec eux; à la télé était diffusé un film spécial.
Il relatait l’histoire d’un roi d’un autre monde qui avait de formidables pouvoirs magiques, et il était discret, modeste. Même (dans ce film en tout cas) s’il ne souriait jamais, il aimait sincèrement les pires déchets et vivait parmi eux (euh... je parle des gens rejetés par la société). Il les aimait tellement... tous ses miracles étaient pour eux.
‒ Mais... mais qui c’est, ce type!?
Et mon père d’ajouter:
‒ C’est de plus une histoire vraie.
‒ Hein!? Jamais je n’ai entendu une chose pareille! Pourquoi on n’en parle jamais? Com...?
... Jésus...
 
Le «procès»
Le peuple pouvait voter soit pour Barabas meurtrier qui pue des pieds, soit pour Jésus.
Les méchants avaient monté la foule pour crier:
‒ Barabas! Barabas!
Ceux qui scandaient le nom de Jésus étaient peu nombreux. Seuls sa maman, deux ou trois potes et... moi. Debout sur le fauteuil, je sautais et criais avec eux:
‒ Jésus! Jésus! Jésus!
Mon père:
‒ Eh! ho! ce n’est qu’un film!
 
C’est quoi, ce monde?!
Puis l’inconcevable est arrivé: Barabas a gagné...
C’est quoi, ce monde dans lequel je suis né? Comment peut-on condamner aussi injustement? Je trouvais insupportable de regarder qu’on le frappe, lui crache dessus, l’insulte, le maltraite, lui fasse porter cette grosse poutre en forme de croix…
Lui qui a été si gentil pour tous ces gens... ils le clouèrent dessus!
Attends, Ho-HO! ce n’est pas possible...!
Avec ses pouvoirs, il lui suffit d’un souffle pour tous les niquer définitivement de la surface du sol! Mais au lieu de ça, il a supplié son papa, un certain «Dieu» (#%?! Qui c’est, ça, encore?!):
‒ Père, pardonne-leur, ils ne savent pas ce qu’ils font.
Moi: BOUM!
 
Mais qui est ce type!?
Comme je pleurais sa mort à chaudes larmes, mon père a relativisé:
‒ Bah! De toute façon, après, il ressuscite!
Hein?! Mais personne ne revient à la vie, normalement...!!! Qu’est-c...?
 
«Salut Alain, c’est moi...»
Bien des années plus tard, adolescent, j’ai trouvé des bédés chrétiennes dans les déchets (www.tournesol.ch). Et c’est seulement à ce moment-là, en larmes, que j’ai compris que Jésus avait subi la croix volontairement par amour pour nous...
... pour moi.
 
Pour eux
Voilà maintenant plus de seize ans que je crée des bédés (que je participe à des spectacles et autres bêtises) pour, à mon tour, souvent partager le message. C’est un chemin difficile accompagné de joie, mais aussi de moqueries, de privations; et, quand j’ai envie de baisser les bras, je retrouve courage en me souvenant des deux personnes pour qui je fais tout ça, ce petit garçon assis sur un fauteuil un soir de Pâques qui aurait tellement voulu savoir...
et son Dieu qui aurait tellement voulu lui dire.
