The End of Making Of, or how we nearly got fired.

Hey there, dedicated Making Of readers,

Thanks for following our little "behind the scenes" series sofar :)
We're very sorry to tell you our Boss gave us no choice. No visits, no budget ! We have to focus more on CucuC and Cuchulainn, our two central products. And... you might argue with your boss, but you don't argue with the gods !

Rest assured, however, that making of will re-appear sometime in the future, in another form.

Thanks again.
Cheers

Mirlikovir & Cathbad

Mais nooooon-euh ! D:
J'aimais bien le making Of, moi !
Monde technocrate et pourri, où même les dieux courbent l'échine devant la loi de la Rentabilité... (1)

(1) Oghme était mon Dieu "préféré" quand j'étais petite - à cause des "piercings" et de sa bande de jeunes "groupies". *tousse*
Rien à voir, mais tout ça me rappelle soudain cette excellente série de livres sur la mythologie, tous superbement illustrés. J'ai un souvenir particulièrement ému de celui sur les dieux gaulois (Epona, ce bon vieux Oghme, mais aussi les terribles Namnètes...)...
... bon sang, ce que je suis bavarde. XD

@Carlota : Hello vous :)
Ben euh... ouais, on n'a que quatre bras (ce qui est déjà pas mal par rapport à la moyenne des humains) et hélas, il faut faire des choix. Celui-ci est hautement technocratique : Makingof, c'est 50 visites par jour, CucuC 500.
Vu qu'on se lance simultanément dans l'aventure de la traduction de BD en lignes américaines (et j'espère que vous aimerez!), fallait faire un choix :(

Mais rassurez vous, Making Of continuera enfait, mais dans le Blog Oghme... qui sortira en fin de semaine.

A bientôt, fan d'Oghme ! Quel est ce livre auquel vous faites référence ? :)

@lleu llaw gyffes : On gagne un coup de pied dans le culte. On est comme ça, nous, à Oghme Comics
