NO, I’m not trying to go back to posting once per day again, but I just had to share this one. Okay, then? Are we clear on that? *phew*

So, this is evidently un affiche for the 2nd International Salon of the Comic Strip, organized in Kortrijk/Courtrai, Belge, from the 13th-15th, May of 1989, during the annual Sinksenfeesten Festival.

See how many characters can you recognise, and then I’ll share the answers below.

We recognize from the left corner, top-to-bottom:

E.P. Jacobs’ Blake & Mortimer, Dupa’s Cubitus, Jacques Tardi’s Adèle Blanc-Sec, André Franquin’s Fantasio et Spirou (whose legs stick out behind Adèle’s head), Jean Giraud’s Jimmy McClure (from 'Blueberry’), Jean Roba’s Bill, Peyo’s Smurf, Willy Vandersteen’s Lambik, Gotlib’s Professeur Burp (from ‘Rubrique-à-Brac’), Hergé’s Tintin, Albert Uderzo’s Obelix, Morris’ Jolly Jumper, Victor Hubinon’s Barbe-Rouge, Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese, Willy Linthout’s Urbanus, JC Mézières’ Shingouz (from ‘Valérian et Laureline’) and Albert Uderzo’s Tanguy (from ‘Tanguy & Laverdure’).

In the right corner we notice Franquin’s Marsupilami, with Spip the squirrel (from ‘Spirou’) hanging on the tip of his tail in the left upper corner. Beneath the Marsupilami’s legs JC Mézières’ Laureline et un grognon from “Bluxte” (both from 'Valérian et Laureline’) can be spotted. High in the air we see the pterodactyl from Jean Giraud’s Arzach. --LBK & Johnny
