A nos enfants de la patriece!!!
I totally forgot about it!
And a happy Madame DuFarge to you!
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Happy Bastille Day!
Here are some French Revolution comics courtesy of Kate Beaton.
On Bastille day 1983, I was 13 years old and spending the summer living with a French family. I got my first real kiss on the beach at Soulac-sur-Mer from a boy named Stephane. It was awesome, even though he had to stand on the wooden walkway because I was already 5’10" at that age.
Later that night I got hit in the eye with a bottle rocket. Less awesome. Still, it’s a nice memory.
I searched through some images, and here’s the best eel I could find.
