An exotic dancer with a very weird name.
—
Just a little reminder that the Art Block Kickstarter is still happening! It’s a webcomics anthology I’m in! There’s 25 artists in total in there, and it’s gonna be a beautiful book so please consider helping us out? The more money it makes, the more money in the artists’ pockets!
Here’s a sneak peek:
And here are some other artists in the book: Cheit.jpg, Cassandra, Tiny Snek and The Reddot!
WHy don’t you just tell them that you make comics …? Too personal?
Yeah, I kinda don’t want to engage with complete strangers sometimes? Also “cartoonist” is such an unusual job that it usually gets people talking A LOT and I don’t always feel like it…
I know that I wouldn’t jump to “exotic dancer”, I would probably just jump to “I wonder if there’s a story there”.
Does it mean something in French?
It mostly means “BOOM!” like the explosion onomatopoeia. In France though, “boum” could mean a big party, or it could be used like “how’s it going” = “ça boume?” But we seldom hear that where I live.
Is that how it’s pronounced, too?
In my mind I always read it as sounding like “boom” but I know french has some unusual pronunciations when you’re coming from american.
It’s definitely the closest pronunciation!
… and then there’s that movie “La Boum”, or German title “Die Fete”, English, “The Party” … Never seen it though.
