De Klare Lijn, de ballonnetjes, die zware teksten onder de tekeningen wegnemen.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Wat het tekenwerk betreft, zorgde ik ervoor de Klare Lijn te behouden, maar buiten de criteria te gaan waarin B\u00e9cassine vast zat. Met andere woorden buiten die van het kleine, peervormige meisje dat snel overrompeld wordt door haar emoties en haar wil om goed te doen. Om haar karaktertrekken wat luchtiger te maken, moest ik ze grafisch soepeler en harmonieuzer maken.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u2026 en over <\/strong><strong>De Club van Vijf:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Toen Nata\u00ebl en ik onze eerste Club van Vijf begonnen, was er dat gevoel van pret.

Het was op elk niveau een genoegen!<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>We hebben ons allebei teruggestort in onze kindertijd om de gevoelens uit die periode terug te vinden.
