Tom Bouden (born 1971, Ostend, Belgium) is an openly gay Belgian artist, best known for his comics albums, which often satirize old-fashioned Belgian comics.

This was followed by ''Max en Sven'', a semi-autobiographical story about a boy who falls in love with his best friend. Career timeline 1990: a gay youth club asks Tom Bouden to make some illustrations for a new campaign. Soon, the figures on the poster (Max and Sven) have leading parts in their own comic.

Ostend
Ostend ( nl, Oostende, ; french: link=no, Ostende ; german: link=no, Ostende ; vls, Ostende) is a coastal city and municipality, located in the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It comprises the boroughs of Mariakerke, Raversijde, Stene and Zandvoorde, and the city of Ostend proper – the largest on the Belgian coast. History Origin to Middle Ages In the Early Middle Ages, Ostend was a small village built on the east-end () of an island (originally called Testerep) between the North Sea and a beach lake. Although small, the village rose to the status of "town" around 1265, when the inhabitants were allowed to hold a market and to build a market hall. The major source of income for the inhabitants was fishing. The North Sea coastline has always been rather unstable due to the power of the water. In 1395 the inhabitants decided to build a new Ostend behind large dikes and further away from the always-threatening sea. 15th to 18th century The s ...

Gay Artists
''Gay'' is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term originally meant 'carefree', 'cheerful', or 'bright and showy'. While scant usage referring to male homosexuality dates to the late 19th century, that meaning became increasingly common by the mid-20th century. In modern English, ''gay'' has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the community, practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. In the 1960s, ''gay'' became the word favored by homosexual men to describe their sexual orientation. By the end of the 20th century, the word ''gay'' was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex, (Reprinted fro American Psychologist, Vol 46(9), Sep 1991, 973-974) although it is more commonly used to refer specifically to men. At about the same time, a new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. Among younger speakers, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Quasimodo (magazine)
''Quasimodo'' is a student newspaper published by the Fremantle Student Association at the University of Notre Dame Australia in Fremantle. The magazine takes its name from Quasimodo, Victor Hugo's fictional bell-ringer and protagonist of Notre Dame de Paris Politics In 2005, former ''Quasi'' editor Chris Bailey charged that the university's Catholic hierarchy sought to restrict the range of topics discussed in the magazine, telling ''The Australian'' that he and other contributors were "unofficially told by university staff that students involved in defying the university may be kicked out of uni." Upcoming editions are vetted by a review committee of university and student representatives – "Quasimodo now is very much G-rated" as a result, Bailey claimed. One ''Quasi'' edition, containing an article on the morning-after pill, was banned by vice-chancellor Peter Tannock Peter Darcy Tannock (born 2 October 1940) is a former academic and Australian rules football playe ...

De Lustige Kapoentjes
''De Lustige Kapoentjes'' (literally: ''"The Joyful Rascals"'') was a long-running Flemish comic book series, which existed under different titles and was drawn by different artists, among whom Marc Sleen (''"The Lustige Kapoentjes"'') and Willy Vandersteen (''"De Vrolijke Bengels"'') are the most well known. The series was published in '''t Kapoentje'', the youth supplement of '' Het Volk'', and in '' Ons Volkske'', the youth supplement of '' De Standaard''. They were the mascots of '''t Kapoentje'' from 1947 until the magazine's demise in 1985. The weekly gag-a-day comic was very popular in the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s. In all of its incarnations the concept was the same: a group of children play tricks on adults and frequently get their revenge on a local police officer and an older evil young adult. Origins In 1933 Flemish comic strip artist Eugeen Hermans, aka "Pink", published the gag-a-day comic ''Filipke en de Rakkers'' in '' Ons Volkske'', inspired by similar America ...
