Talk:Blake and Mortimer

Comcat editions
Catalan, thru their 'Comcat' line, was only able to publish 2 Blake and Mortimer albums before they went under. They planned on doing Secret of the Great Pyramid and the Yellow M, but didn't. Unless you have proof they did publish these 2 books (ie, you own them), please stop editing them back in.--Emb021 22:10, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:B&M YM.jpg
Image:B&M YM.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Ciel! Blake! / Sky! Mortimer!
I have a copy of ''Ciel! Blake! / Sky! Mortimer! - an English-French Dictionary of Running Idioms'' by Jean-Loup Chiflet and published by Mots & Cie in 2000 (ISBN: 2-913588-16-6). It features English and French idioms, each with a literal translation into the other language nicely illustrated with a Blake and Mortimer comic panel, and an equivalent idiom in the other language as well; so for example: under Lapin/Rabbit it says "Il m'a posé un lapin" with the English equivalent idiom being "He stood me up", along with a panel featuring a camel rider looking into the desert and saying "He put me down a rabbit". I have no idea whether the comic panels are extracts from genuine Blake and Mortimer stories but it is an amusing read and maybe worth a mention in the article.

While writing this, I have also found out a second volume was published in 2004, titled Name of a pipe ! / Nom d'une pipe !. Astronaut (talk) 11:17, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I should have Name of a pipe somewhere, but I thought the English examples often felt a bit strained. The English idioms were too rare or archaic to really feel that useful... 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 19:14, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Asterix & Obélix is not a Belgian series
"Many Belgian comics have had similar themes of confirmed bachelors living together, including Tintin and Captain Haddock, Asterix & Obelix, Spirou & Fantasio, and Tif & Tondu." Asterix & Obelix is in fact a 100% French series. Onaryc (talk) 17:34, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposed Article Title Change
Shouldn't this page be called 'The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer', this being the series' official name, printed on every book release? Other comic book series with similar naming support this on their Wikipedia pages, e.g. 'The Adventures of Tintin' instead of just 'Tintin'. Also, this article introduces the series as such; its first line is "The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer is a Belgian comics series..." WikiEdita65 (talk) 02:05, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
