If you liked my previous post about traveling from Berlin to Italy, you will love this one about my train travel from Finland to France! The trip is way longer than in the last comic, plus in this one I’m going to a comics festival in Angoulême. I hope this comic can inspire others to try traveling by land, even if it is a bit slower than traveling by a plane.
I am going to say this in the comic too, but I must say it here as well. Traveling by land in a train where it’s okay to get up, move around and go to different sections of the train is so much better for my heath than sitting still on a plane. Movement is needed even for making comics and I don’t mind the extra time a train takes. What else would I be doing with that time, even if I wasn’t on a train, than making comics? Nothing! And I can definitely draw comics on a train too.
