That’s me carefully examining the entirety of the original art for Italian cartoonist Hugo Pratt’s second Corto Maltese adventure, Ballad of the Salt Sea (you can’t see all of it in the photo, of course) as presented at the Pinacotheque museum in Paris, France. It was pretty great. I will hopefully get around to writing a little more about the exhibit and how it fully convinced me that Pratt is one of cartooning’s greats, but if not, though, the short version is: Hugo Pratt is really great. This exhibition of his work is really great. You should visit it if you get the chance. You should buy Corto Maltese comics if you get the chance.
