![]() A particularly biting episode of Zombillenium in which we discover the underbelly of the most monstrous amusement park in the world.Īrthur de Pins, "Zombillenium Vol #3 Control Freaks", -:NBM, 2021. Consultado en línea en la Biblioteca Digital de Bogotá (), el día. Zombillénium statue of Gretchen, size approx.24cm. ![]() Official product in limited edition by Fariboles Productions. Zombillénium, imagined and drawn by Arthur de Pins, is an original universe that caught our eye! Among the multitude of charismatic characters (and more or less alive.), Gretchen quickly stood out. Far from the classic aestheticism of the heroines of the 9th art, we are surprised to discover and appreciate the charm of this witch with a strong character. And don't be fooled by her detached air, she'll be able to melt on you with just one blow of her skate-broom!Īrthur de Pins, who followed the project from beginning to end, gives us his impressions: "Gretchen is a character with very minimalist expressions and postures. The opposite of a cartoon or comic strip character from the 60s. With Eric, we opted for a simple pose, where Gretchen looks relaxed, cool. She's not defiant, not mischievous, not afraid. She's just standing there, straight as an "i", ignoring you superbly. This product is not a toy or product for children. ![]()

The first section established citizenship for people born in the United States, thereby overturning the infamousĭred Scott decision of 1857, which held that African Americans, slaves or not, could not be citizens.

What I am trying to convey is that the books of Roald Dahl were pretty interwoven throughout my childhood, as well as the childhood's of many people. My favourite line to this day was from the retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, 'Drawing a gun from her knickers.' ![]() These were done in Dahl's inimitable style. But I can also remember our school play based on Roald Dahl's retelling of fairy tales. ![]() I used to read at night way past bedtime, hiding the book under my pillow if I heard my mum's step on the stair and hiding it under my pillow if she came in. I can still picture my battered copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which was always my most favourite Roald Dahl book. It has been years since I read any Roald Dahl, but as a child I could not get enough of these wonderful books.
