Europe etc, Part II
Today, Jenny and I took a quick trip to Brussels. We took the train, got out at the Central Station, and wandered over to the Comic Book Museum. The Museum is dedicated entirely to Belgian comic books, of which–probably unbeknownst to most Americans–there are an enormous amount. In fact, the Belgian style informed a lot of American comics. Probably the best known Belgian comics are Tintin and the Smurfs, but there are plenty of others that deserve some recognition, including my personal favorites Suske & Wiske, Robbedoes, and Nero.
Anyhoo-here are some more pictures from today, including the Grote Markt in Brussels and the comic book museum. Some pictures are by Jenny, others by me.
