Sure, sure, but anyone trying to convince themselves that they don't live in a dream world is just willfully ignorant of the limitations of the human brain.

I don't throw terms like "master of the form" around lightly, really I don't, but I honestly can't think of a more apt thing to call Boulet. I am pretty much in awe of every aspect of every panel of all of his work I've seen.

I love it. His men get some strange jawlines when stressed, but I kind of like that.

I thought this was going to go in a "Blanche chooses Morglox over the Prince" direction and I'm glad it didn't. Nice panel with the two of them saying "she's mine" vs. "do what you want".

Adding Boulet to my Facebook/RSS feeds is one of the nicer treats - he writes wonderful pages about small ordinary things and his working sketches and animation drafts are just so interesting to see behind the polished work - I'm gearing myself up to buy one of his actual books because just his shorts are so good already, and he has entire books!

He has a quirk I really appreciate too - when he has real life stories and a friend doesn't want to be pictured, he replaces them with an animated character in a way that's funny and respectful, not mean. His whole world feels so friendly and welcoming.

I love boulet's work. While this is on a more personal level, and lacks the tragic impact of War of the Worlds, it's still quite beautiful.
