i sincerely feel as though anglo-ascension in the mile end has killed off a strand of bédéistes in montréal. nobody even remembers fichtre!, a comic book store right by mont-royal metro. the past 5 years have seen a de-centralization from the plateau, with a shift in focus to the mile-end, where non-native anglos who call themselves montrealers have dictated what's cool and what youth focus on - an increasingly american way of creating art, and not encouraging anglos to consume québécois or french art.
anyway, that's my opinion. it breaks my heart that i myself forgot about fichtre! altogether, and worse, that no one has ever spoken to me about it, in years. as though D+Q has always been the one and only.
