Via the BDQForums and Michel Viau comes the news that Pascal Girard has been selected as the cartoonist in residence in Bordeaux, France --a position announced awhile ago here. Girard is scheduled to work on a new graphic novel, La Petite Julie. The position begins September 1 and is a project co-sponsored by l'Institut Canadien, and l'Association regionale pour l'ecrit et le livre en Aquitaine, Bordeaux.
