Fresh home from Portugal. Big “obrigado” to Paulo Monteiro for organizing the festival in Beja and spoiling all us guests! On the left, a sketch
Beja’s a charming, laid-back city a couple hours outside of Lisbon and the festival is cozy and friendly and flowing with endless pitchers

it may seem hypocritical but it strikes me as shameful to tag buildings and trolleys as beautiful as the european ones.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
I envy you.So MUCH. RIGHT NOW!
In all seriousness, it looked like a fabulous time. And Lisbon’s one of the places on my life list I intend to go.
Looking forward to Habibi, but you already knew that
And I’m afraid I disagree with the comment above. Seeing the tags shows me the human element is there, and that is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Somehow, it wouldn’t look quite right WITHOUT all that stuff tagged on it.

lucky you, some people have to spend their time studying history of graphic design, and don’t even have the money for a train ticket to the seaside
i hope you had a lot of fun and came back with loads of energy!

oh come on!!! no autographs in Lisbon?? me really really upset!! Beja was quite far, if you don’t have a car
June 5th, 2009 at 4:04 am
Glad you had a good time in Beja! If only I had been able to go… Next time don’t forget my tip: come to Oporto!

Hi Craig, I want to thank you for the lovely night we spent playing snooker with Lino. In the future I want a rematch (we ended up tied)
It was one of the coolest night in the last couple of months.
And for all your sympathy and support. Looking forward to see more from Habibi.
Keep up the awesome work
Oh! If you are a photographer collector I can send you some pictures, just email and ask.

Hi Craig,
I hope you had a good flight back home.
Great picture of you, the trolley and my bald head (next time I’ll wear a nice hat)! Don’t forget to send me this one and some of the others.
Did you visit the castle?
Many thanks for adding a link to my website - this is, probably, the most famous I’ll get!
Best, Pedro + Isabel

Hi, this is Flávio from Brazil. I just finished reading Blankets this weekend and I enjoyed very much. Congratulations for this very honest and sensitive masterpiece.

Thank you so much for coming!
And thank you for the autograph you gave me
(I’m one of the artists of the comic group from the festival, the one who draws manga eheh)
Thanks again, and, can’t wait for Habibi

June 9th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Ho NO!
I Live in Lisbon and I missed You!!!
Snif!!!
Oh well. Is for the next time
June 10th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Dear Craig,
I know you are quiet busy -and I am very happy about the reasons why :D- but still, I couldn’t resist to TAGG you!
What does it mean?
For a year, between the french comic blogs, a game has started that has no name but does have rules! Here they are:
1/You have to put the rules on your blog
2/You have to put the name of the person who tagged you on your blog
3/You have to evokes six habits, minuscule details etc about you
4/You have to TAGG six more people
5/You have to let them know personnally you did so.
As I leave in America now, I couldn’t resist to try to open this game to more this country and couldn’t think of someone else than you for the perfect start!! Hopefully this will be your break between two pages for Habibi!!

Hey Craig!
you must come to Brazil as Fabio sayed!
I finish blankets today and it really amazing.
all the best,
June 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Hi Craig, I am sure you had a nice time in Beja. All are so kind there at the festival. I was there two years ago and it was such a pleasure ( http://mondgucker.blogspot.com/2007/05/beja-2.html ).
All the best from germany

hey! I am in w/ Fabio Moon and Eduardo Medeiros: come to Brazil. At least to chill out after Habibi release. Blankets and Goodbye Chunky Rice amuse me every single time I read [again]. I wonder if u’ve had the chance to meet José Carlos Fernandes in Portugal…
Best wishes
June 19th, 2009 at 11:27 am
hey craig,
i thought i’d let you know that i’m teaching blankets this semester as part of my contemporary american literature class. can’t wait to see what the reactions will be next week. you follow toni morrison’s beloved, so you’re in very good company.
June 21st, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Hi Craig!
Thank you for “Blankets”, your story is incredible. I just finished reading, and I loved it.
As said before, hope you come to Brazil soon, maybe next year in FLIP (Paraty International Literary Fair) !
Best wishes from Brazil,

Hey Craig!
Just to let you know, I was happy to be able to see your work on a gallery here in Porto, Portugal. I didn’t manage to go to Beja, but this felt like a little reward! I already thought your work was incredible, but after seeing it live I was kind of speechless, it’s even more amazing. I also bought one of your signed giclées, and it looks fantastic.
I took a little photo at the gallery, if you want to see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cool_slayer/3677397315/
Keep being great!
