The Battle of the Plains of Abraham as a food fight. I proposed this comic for the annual comics competition organized by Hachette Canada, whose theme this year was “food”. I unfortunately did not win, but the creation of these pages did give me a valuable opportunity to experiment with colour, and with a more cartoony style. In the remainder of the comic, the French and British were to launch numerous other characteristic food items, including french fries, “ragout de boulettes”, cheddar and haggis (courtesy of the Fraser’s Highlanders). In the end, among the smouldering (and delicious) battle debris, poutine was to be discovered.

I’d like to see more comics by other artists now because I don’t recall ever feeling like I’m in the scene, like in the last image.

I can’t claim to any innovation in that department, but in comics like in film it always helps to frequently vary the “camera” angle
