Because que uses his own forces and because he is a curious mind.<BR/>For some time (as i read in a recent interview) Huizenga worked at xplane, a company which explains different process using graphs and words. When you read his comics you notice he is using that knowledge he learned at work. <BR/>Most of us, when doing comics, we are getting influence from other comics, novels, film, or any other "artistic" source. If we have a day job counting money in a bank, for example, we will try to forget everything about that, when we sit at the drawing table at night. But Huizenga would use it in his own benefit, perhaps telling a story constructed around a mathematical formula, or something like that. He may get his inspiration from an enclyclopedia, from a religous book, etc. <BR/>Look at his blog, "The Baloonist" and you wil understand what i am talking about. And i think that it is what makes him so interesting. He is being himself every time, he is true to his interests. While some people (including himself in early days) are doing comics about their own life, he is doing comics about his experience in with general - well documented - knowledge. It is not strange that Ganges frequently goes to the library in his comics or appears reading a book. <BR/>Huizenga is a person who may analize the panel construction and design from a single page in Tezuka´s Metropolis or investigate the life and death of a strange african insect nobody knows about.<BR/>That doesn´t mean he is making intelectual comics. I think he is making more like "academic" comics, but very heartful. They are not cold stories only full of facts. He is making of every story a journey of of knowledge: the one that you may find in a library, but also the kind o knowledge you learn by your own experience in the street . It may sound lame, but i think that´s what makes his comics so special and turns him into one of the best cartoonist of his generation. <BR/><BR/>Pablo Holmberg<BR/>(Buenos Aires, Argentina)Men7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04514554059720630394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369568.post-1160054173161188702006-10-05T08:16:00.000-05:002006-10-05T08:16:00.000-05:00Can't wait for it!
