“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

I don't know if Chuck was off his meds that day, but the kids don't seem to mind too much. The drivers, however...

I also happened to find a similar pic, and it's the cover of a biographical BD, which unusually included two CD's complimenting Chuck's story & history. Looks rather promising, I'd say.

It's a semi-hollow, so would make a little noise in the immediate area, but not like a classical, of course. Today you could use a small, battery-powered mini-amp to boost the sound a bit (likely sounding fairly crappy), but back in Chuck's day I'd say it's hugely unlikely.

Also, I’m not surprised he’s hitting up a high school…

I don't really know him outside his songs, but IIRC he was indeed something of a "hound dog." So yes, I struggled with the idea of posting these, but I do find them fun, quirky pieces, and Berry's of course an early, influential rock legend. Still, if the community heavily downvotes the post, I understand, and will delete it.

It’s fine. Don’t delete it. I don’t see this post as you condoning his behavior. I was just making a comment.
