Guy Delisle Interviewed in Washington City Paper
The interview with Mike Rhode:
Guy Delisle is a French-Canadian expatriate cartoonist who specializes in travelogues. He’s made books about Shenzen, China, and Pyongyang, North Korea, both of which he visited as a supervising animator. He spent a year in Burma after starting a family with an employee of the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders.
After leaving the country, he produced Burma Chronicles, a book of vignettes about his experiences there. His latest book, Jerusalem: Chronicles From the Holy City (Drawn & Quarterly, $25), is his most ambitious so far.
In 320 pages, Delisle covers the year he spent in the Israeli capital. Delisle gets lost in the streets of the city, both on foot and in a secondhand car; meets members of the region's three major religions; and experiences “the glamorous life of a housewife.” On his travels he meets and shows his readers a variety of people including Israeli Jews in the military, Bedouins, ultra-extreme Jewish settlers, Palestinian student cartoonists, and a Christian minister (who provides him with studio space).
Unlike his earlier books, here Delisle stretches into cartoon journalism, when he’s asked to do a story on Doctors Without Borders and “what they’re doing in Hebron, a West Bank city where the settlers are known to be especially militant,” he explains.
For fans of his earlier works, Jerusalem still focuses plenty on Delisle's visits to historic and religious sites.

From The Silver Tongue by way of Mike Lynch Cartoons.
Brazil’s Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported Monday that Brazilian cartoonist Rafael Grampá was the only member of the media allowed to attend Bob Dylan’s Sao Paulo show last weekend.
The newspaper reported that Grampá, an award-winning Brazilian cartoonist, drew the most memorable performances of the show as the single member of the press.
The 70-year-old folk singer sang to a sold out audience in Brazil’s largest metropolis, starting off the set with the 1966 song “Leopard-Skin Pill Box Hat.”
