This is my comic. | This is my style. | And although my style is always changing… | …It’s still always mine. | Because if it woudn’t change.. | …And just would stay as it is… | …Then it would stop being mine. | Because I’m also changing all the time. | And it’s not something I should be sad about or that I should fear. | I just have to let go | And do and try. | And that’s exactly what we do in my course.

I’m teaching comics again in Comics Centre of Helsinki next spring, and this comic is kind of a teaser for that.

Asteroidi 13042036

Tein tämän Päivälehden museolle Tulevaisuuden sanomalehti -näyttelyyn. Näyttely esillä 28.2.2010 asti.
I did this comic for a local museum, Päivälehden museo, to include to a exhibition about the newspaper of the future.

Asteroid 13042036 part 72 | ”Jaakko” | It came from there | It had been there for a while, but I wasn’t scared of it. | But then suddenly it started to get bigger really fast… The air was hot and the sky red. | Everyone was just looking at it. Nobody moved. | Then the ground started to shake. | We went into a panic | It felt like it lasted forever. | Then suddenly everything went quiet. | It was just dark. | It took us a while to realize we where alive.| I do feel a bit silly now. | That we actually run under the table! | I never really belived that ”asteroid judgment day” talk. | But I just couldn’t think streight. | I was so sure that I was a goner | It makes you think… all kinds of stuff. | Own life and the universe and stuff like that.
13th of April 2036 an Asteroid will pass by our planet. Some say it will crash to earth. Asteroid 13042036 is a series of reportages that tells about the common people’s reaction to the asteroid and how the asteroid affects our normal lifes before and (hopefully) after the pass by. Asteroid 13042036 is an example how in the future, comics are used also as a tool to tell current news and not just as a comic relief in the newspapers.

We’ve been introduced, in Angoulême if I remember right | But it was many years ago. | But it was somehow very difficult situation. | I didnt’ have anything to say. | And now if I see him somewhere, I don’t know if I should say hi… | …’Couse I don’t know if he remembers me.

hagelberg03

And I’m not always sure eather. I don’t know if he’s he. | Becouse I don’t really recognize him. | And then I end up smiling this stupid smile and run away. | It would be nice to know him. | Or atleast to know if I can say hi to him. I’ve heard he’s a nice guy.

Matti Hagelberg at the Comics Centre | Once I saw him at the Centre. | At least I think it was him. | He was sitting in the shop and was reading some comics. | He looked at me, but didn’t say anything. | And then I just went to the back room and started working.
