Guy Delisle's panel had about 50 people, which is twice up what I've ever seen for a cartoonist of that type in that particular time set. The questions from the audience were mostly about the political implication of his Pyongyang book, translated in the US by Drawn and Quarterly. I thought the most fascinating thing he said was how he was dedicated to his publisher despite their rejecting a new book he then took elsewhere. I can't imagine a North American publisher having the same attitude. Also that he masked or did not portray a lot of confidence between himself and some of the North Koreans with which he interacted.
