Those
who attended Bravo’s events were in for a treat. He spoke about his
craft with clarity and humor, the highlight undoubtedly being a panel
discussion on Saturday morning about the importance of comics for
children. Alongside Raina Telgemeier (Ghosts, Baby-sitters Club, Scholastic/Graphix), and the tandem Federico Bertolucci and Frédéric Brrémaud (Little Tails, published in English by Magnetic Press),
he spoke about the crucial role comics can play in children’s lives,
introducing them to the real world gradually through humor and stories
they can relate to, and he explained how natural drawing is—or should
be. After all, what is the first thing children do when you put a
crayon into their hands? And despite the importance our society places
on writing, it’s important to keep drawing even as you grow up. Not only
are the two forms complementary, in Bravo’s view, but drawing can cross
borders in a way writing can’t. All of the creators present, despite
their different backgrounds and styles, agreed on these main points,
without forgetting one last thing: drawing is also a way for adults to
connect back with their childhood, and to learn how to play again."
