“As key figures in Belgian comic strip world, they had to keep a place onthe Brussels comic strip route. What was more, these two “ketjes” had to stay in the Marolles, so dear to the author, as Hergé’s grandmother lived on rue Terre-Neuve. To add a funny little anecdote: this is also the official address of Tintin, except that “Newfoundland” has been mischievously renamed “Labrador” in fiction “.

Explains Ans Persoons, Deputy mayor in Brussels in charge of urban planning and responsible for the Comic Strip route.

Like Tintin, Quick & Flupke are real Brusseleirs. These nicknames are moreover typically from Brussels dialect with: “Flupke” for Philippe and “Quick” being a nickname given to a friend of Hergé.

Some of the art featured in the entrance was made by Micheal Golz (Germany), an artist who is best known for mapping out a imaginary world named Athosland as a bit of an outcast child growing up with learning disabilities. Started in the 1960’s, this has become a life-long project for him that has spanned for over fifty years now.

These big tarot cards above are the work of the artist Yves-Jules. Bulimic at work, he intuitively or on command creates an astonishing number of portraits relating to royal and presidential families around the world. Conscientious, Yves dissects and interprets, with a magnifying glass, each detail of the photos which serve as models and enlarges them on the canvas in
layers of acrylic. The language of colors does the rest. The work is characterized by a meticulous and lively highlighting of each element, previously drawn with a thick black line, which makes the artist’s style so personal and recognizable.
