How did the shooting go, with so many characters? It was quite complex! Since Margaret, who plays Madame Bibi, demanded tea breaks every hour, we had very long days. As for Robert, who plays Mr. Stetson, he was always stuffing himself with candy and chocolate between takes… It was sickening! And then John, who plays Mr. Boiler in this story, kept forgetting his lines, but he was so charming that the producers* decided to keep him. Fortunately, Patrick, our Sherlock, is such a good actor that he saved the story! Is it true that you were supposed to play Stetson at first? Yes, it is. But since I am quite tall, and that this character wears a tall hat, it was very difficult to see me whole in one frame. And quite frankly, it must have been dreadful to carry this little man for the whole shooting! I was quite happy with that little fez*.
model. I’ve often been told I wear hats very well. And in the fashion industry, manners and breeding are very important. Otherwise no one wants to work with you!

Oh, I did not know you were in the fashion business… What made you want to play in a story? I was always interested in acting. But with such a beautiful face as mine, you understand, every magazine and fashion show wanted me in! Monsieur Perreault, the director* of this story, noticed me in an ad for a top hat. I said yes immediately! What’s more, Sherlock is a real hero from my youth, I could not turn down a role at his side! What about your next projects? Thanks to this story, I hope to turn some heads in Hollywood. I would like to be the first James Bond* to wear a hat. Or a cowboy… In fact, any role with a hat on would be fine!
Your character seems to have very good manners. Are you like this in « real life »? You know, truth is I am a headwear*

Texts: Ella Coutance - Illustration: Simon Bailly
Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) was an actor, a director and a musician. He became one of the most famous personalities in cinema thanks to his character: The Tramp .
Charles Chaplin grew up in England, in a poor family. His mother, a music-hall performer, raised him alone.
Aged 5, he came on stage for the first time. His act is successful: Charlie is good at making people laugh!
Aged 21, he leaves for the United States, where he is hired as an actor.
One day, he invented The Tramp, a character he played in all his other movies. 20
The Tramp is a poor, kind-hearted vagrant whose many adventures make people laugh a lot.
At that time, movies are silent, so they are understood all over the globe! The Tramp becomes an international star.
Charlie Chaplin then uses his movies to convey messages, to show poverty, and to speak out against injustice…
In Modern Times, he humorously criticizes the harshness of assembly-line* work in factories.
In 1940, while imitating German dictator Adolf Hitler, he mocks and ridicules him…
… To the pont when he has him say a pacifist speech. This movie, The Dictator, was a great success, standing as a reminder that democracy must be protected.
Charlie Chaplin died in 1977, on Christmas Eve, after shooting more than 80 movies.
As for The Tramp, he will continue to move us and make us laugh. 21

Interview by Vincent Jadot - Illustration: Stéphanie Lasne
YOUNG, I wanted to be a «painteress» and finally I became a... The wind was so strong that day that it blew George’s hat away. Since he was upset about losing it, a friend advised him to go and see Marion Clément, a milliner.
Marion
What did you want to do when you were little? “A painteress”! That’s what I used to say as a child, instead of “painter”. I would draw all the time.
Marion
And when you grew up? I did not let go of my crayons, because I studied art and design*.
Marion

And then ? Drawings remain flat, on a sheet. It was not enough for me, I wanted to work with volumes, touch materials, like wood for instance. So I started over and got a diploma in woodworking*. But woodworkers* don’t make hats? No, of course. A wooden hat wouldn’t be comfortable. But one day, I was looking for work and I found this random ad: the Hat Museum of Chazelle-sur-Lyon was looking for a milliner. But you weren’t a milliner? No! But they liked my creative personality and my woodworking diploma. Retired hatters taught me how to make men’s felt hats, and I also worked with milliners who make women’s hats.
Marion

Marion
You mean felt, like the felt-tip pens we use for drawing? Felt is made of wool, rubbed with hot water. We use some kind of felt bells, that we wrap in wet linen for a whole night. In the morning, we take the bell, we put in in a great tub full of boiling water. It burns your hands, but that’s how you do it. Then we put the felt on wooden molds and we give the hat it’s shape. Then we add ribbons, accessories… That’s the milliner’s part. And then? I started my own business. I make hats for clients, for famous designers… I’ve just started creating accessories for shows, too. It’s exciting. What advice would you give to children wanting to be milliners? You must let your imagination go free, don’t be afraid to start, or to do the same thing over and over again without getting discouraged. Do you often wear hats? Yes, I always wear a little bibi (it’s a little hat that you wear on the side of your head, like in the image on the next page), or I put fabric flowers in my hair.

A movie by Robert Stevenson, screened in 1965.
Mary Poppins is a musical movie, adapted from a book. The story is set in London, in 1910. The main
character is Mary Poppins, a nanny with magical abilities. She comes to take care of Jane and Michael Banks, two children with very busy parents. And now, it’s your turn to play this scene!
The characters
The context
• Mary Poppins: she is a original yet strict young lady.
Mary Poppins has just arrived at the Banks’. The children show her her room, so she can settle. Mary gets huge objects out of her tiny bag, and the children can’t believe their eyes!
• Jane et Michaël Banx: she’s about 8, and him 6.
DIALOGUE: JANE: This is your room, with a lovely view of the park. MARY POPPINS: Well, I suppose it will do! (Runs finger
across table to check for dust.) Its clean.. It just needs a few touches like… (Sets carpet bag on table, opens it & takes out items.) Well first things first, I need a hat stand to put my hat on. (Pulls out hat stand, stands it up and hangs her hat on it, takes off her coat and hangs it up too.) and my mirror (Takes out a mirror, hangs it up, and looks in it.) Ah yes, perfect as usual! (Michael looks in the bag.) MICHAËL: (To his sister.) But there’s nothing in there! MARY: (Coming back to the bag.) Now Michael, don’t
judge things by their appearance!
MICHAËL: We’d better keep an eye on this one. She’s
tricky!
JANE: She’s wonderful!
MARY: I want to see how you measure up. Ah here it is.
(Pulls out tape measure and goes to sit on the bed) Come along quickly Michael. Heads up. Don’t slouch! (Michael stands next to Mary Poppins, is measured, and then Mary Poppins looks at the tape measure.) Just as I thought.
Extremely stubborn and suspicious.
MICHAËL: I am not! (Jane starts to giggle.) MARY: (Showing him the tape.) See for yourself! MICHAËL: (Reading) Extremely stubborn and su… MARY: Suspicious. Now you Jane. (She measures Jane
and reads the tape measure.) Mmmm rather inclined to
giggle. Doesn’t put things away! MICHAËL: How about you?

bottom of the tape measure and Mary the top, she reads the measurement.) As I expected. Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way. (Mary Poppins puts the tape measure back in her bag.)
MICHAËL: What?
JANE: Mary Poppins. Is that your name? It’s lovely.
MARY: (Still searching.) My tape measure.
MARY: Thank you. I like it a lot too.

feeling around inside.) Now let me see.. Where is my…

Goodday Goodnight The title of this comic book sums up the only two words that are said throughout this medley of an album. The idea is simple, and intriguing: you start reading on one side a story drawn with a pencil, and then you flip the book and read another story drawn in ink and watercolour. The one is by day and the other by night, with the same character walking in a silent city, in black and white. He only opens his mouth to be polite, saluting the few passers-by he runs into. But sometimes, colour appears and the attentive reader will figure out why. Vamille • La Joie de lire Editions • 10,90 € • From the age of 8

The Big Bad Rollercoaster
A whole day in Youpi-Land (THE ultimate luna park) with his buddy Rémi: a dream gift for Robin! But it all turns into a nightmare once they get there: the girls from school mock them, the hamburgers are poisonous, the rollercoaster scares them and that weird vomit-headed dangerous maniac… A festival of grimace, screaming, dripping, laughing. This is a horror comic to die for, that teaches how to grow up while discovering the essence of derision. Guillaume Long • La Joie de lire Editions 10,90 € • From the age of 9

Interview by Anne-Bénédicte Schwebel.
The illustrator who draw the long story from Georges’ Ghost issue tells us about her work!
QUESTION BOX
F
irst off, where did you get your pseudonym, Lili Scratchy? My grandfather, Anastase Scratchyk, but also my love for The Simpsons*! In this series, the kids watch a cartoon called Itchy and Scratchy.
W
hat does your desk look like?
My desk is overflowing, quite literally. I often have to draw on the kitchen table… I don’t throw anything away because I think everything can come in handy someday! I work on very different substrates. For example, I can bring a window I found in the street and draw something on it. I also paint on canvas, I make ceramics* (see picture of plate on opposite page), collage… Which explains the mess.
How do you organize your day? I often start with a bit of sport, I go out running or swimming, around 7:30. Then, a hearty breakfast, and here we go! I put the radio on, brew coffee, and I either draw at home or go to my ceramics workshop around the corner, which I share with my friend Nathalie Choux (who is also an illustrator). At 5:30 p.m., my kids come home, and we debrief their day. I often work late after dinner.
FAVORITE TOOL?
Can you tell us about your last projects, but also about your “dream project”?
A hammer.
So, my last projects: a phone case, a rad sticker poster, and a book about languages (see opposite page). My dream projects: doing a huge piece, like a toboggan, a wacky climbing wall or furniture you can play with!
SPIRIT ANIMAL? An otter.
YOUR LAST SNACK? Almonds and dried figs.
Where do you find inspiration?
FAVORITE SUPER-HERO? Super Jaimie*.
In my head, in the street, in sentences… Words are inspiring. And when they come without an image, it’s easier, because then I’m not tempted to just reproduce what I see. That’s why I like to listen to the radio.
What are your favorite techniques?
SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH? This salt dough snowman one of my daughters made.
I like felt pens a lot. They’re easy and come in plenty of colors.
ANOTHER JOB YOU WOULD ENJOY?
What was your favorite book as a child? I read all of the Bibliothèque Rose collection: the ones by the Comtesse de Ségur, the Jojo Lapin series. And also, Le Journal de Mickey and J’aime Lire with Tom and Lili.
