Over a period of a week<\/strong><\/p>\n

A civil engineering college hosted an exhibition of my comic books.
\nMaybe next time there\u2019ll be an invitation from the amphibian and geological research center of the communist north pole, you never know\u2026
\nEvery 45 minutes throughout the day, every day,<\/p>\n

I gave a drawing master class to an entire class of teenagers
\nwho could ask me whatever questions they wanted.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I realized just how much God had touched their hearts<\/strong>…
\nThat\u2019s our deal: I take care of the drawing, He takes care of hearts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Questions<\/strong>
\nTime and again, they were about faith.
\nAlthough it\u2019s true that our generation\u00a0feels lost<\/strong>,
\none thing cannot be denied:\u00a0it wants to<\/strong> find a way to faith…
\nThey even stayed on during the lunch break,\u00a0(it\u2019s not as if I\u2019m handing out free drugs or anything!)
\nSome waited for their friends to leave before coming to ask me more…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A good omen
\n<\/strong>A selection from all my comic books were displayed on the wall.
\nThe drawings that made the biggest impact were from
\nmy next album: \u2018Conventional Wisdom 3\u2019\u00a0(accounting for more than half of the framed drawings sold).<\/p>\n

The college has kept several drawings on permanent display
\nawesome, it just keeps going!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saahsal<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The bar that we played in on Saturday was a heavy metal venue\u00a0(wood not being a musical genre).
\nAlthough we would acknowledge some of our influences come under this category of noise,
\nrock is more our style\u00a0(I know, pebble isn\u2019t a musical genre either).<\/p>\n

Before unleashing the sound,
\nwe got into a circle outside and called on the Holy Spirit\u2019s help.
\nIn the end, we even had to play two encores,
\nthe barmaid said it was the best concert she\u2019d ever heard in the venue\u00a0(and it wasn\u2019t because it was the first concert they\u2019d ever had…very funny you guys!)<\/p>\n

Leaving the venue\u00a0(like, really late at night),
\nwe were surprised to see just how unsafe the neighborhood was:
\nalong both sides of the street, prostitutes were touting for business
\nand men were mistaking other women for their wives.<\/p>\n

A ballet on paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

A dance company,
\ncomposed of dancers who had been chosen to be principal dancers by the famous Maurice B\u00e9jart<\/strong>
\nhas created a ballet based on my last comic book \u2018Marcel\u2019s vacations\u2019. (totally out there, don\u2019t you think?!!)<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not at all connected with the Christian scene,
\nbut they were touched by the story of the child who\u2019s dying of hunger,
\nthe charity\u00a0\u2018Compassion\u2019<\/strong> will also be there! (I\u2019d quoted them in the book)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to open the show with a guitar solo (Gulp! All alone as well!)
\nand I\u2019ll accompany the dancers with the deft movements of my pencil (there\u2019s not much else I can do).
\nAll this is happening at the Octogone de Pully<\/strong> theater!! (Lausanne, Switzerland)<\/p>\n

The performance has already been staged once, but due to popular demand, it\u2019s to be put on a second time.
\nFind out more (only in French).
