Two days ago, tragedy struck in Québec City

Our festival’s primary goal is to spread the love for the culture of a certain distant country. As such, when we heard the news about the events that took place on our very own doorstep, we simply didn’t want to believe it; such horrors may often only seem like rumors, whispers from faraway lands. Yet, this time, the horror was much too close.

We are saddened, if not disappointed, by the events that transpired during this weekend. However, yesterday, countless thousands of people took on the streets, brandishing candles and flowers in response to the atrocity, boon on this wound to our community. We would like to do the same. While our festival focuses exclusively on matters relating to Japan, both our organization and our attendees have various origins, religions, as well as sexual orientation and identities. In this era of technology and globalization, of cultural and ideological shock, we believe acceptance is of the utmost importance. Differences should not be something to separate people based on, but to learn about instead. After all, while we may come from different countries, or have different beliefs, we are all human.

Dare to open your heart.

What could a daydreaming introvert, an overly nice gamer, a sleazy otaku, a secret agent and a slightly superhuman boxer have in common?

Frivolesque is a colorful webcomic 100% made in Québec. But did you know it was also a book now?

Yup! The first two years of the webcomic’s run have been collected and published by Rémi Paradis as a paperback, available in both English and French. And better yet, the book is going to be launched at Nadeshicon’s Kermesse Anime. Are you a fan of Flore, Chloe, Gaia, Saki or Marie-Neige? Or even Clementine? Come meet Dez, the creator of Frivolesque, buy one of the first copies of the paperback and get it signed!

Etienne Desilets-Trempe, better known as Dez, is the creator of Frivolesque, a webcomic updating weekly launched in 2013.

Country-raised, and currently based in Quebec City, Dez is into comics of all kinds, cinema and video games. He also loves to take part in various geeky events.

Now drawing again after a decade-long draught of inspiration and motivation, Dez decided to start working on a personal project to snap out of this dry spell. Inspired by his city, the geek subculture he’s proud to be part of and the people in it, he created Frivolesque, a webcomic in the vein of humorous Japanese “4-koma” style manga (Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, K-On) showcasing the everyday life of five quirky girls, each one of them being an evolution of older character designs Dez drew along the years.

Since then, he just can’t stop, and his biggest wish is to help anybody else with a creative mind to get out there and achieve something.
