This marks the first collaboration between Champaka and Yves Chaland.

The author of “Bob Fish” placed his index finger against his lower lip (a gesture that was his trademark) and proclaimed “I can but say “yes” to the editor who has just published images by Paape-Charlier, Tillieux and, especially, Vandersteen!”
