French comic artist and illustrator Jean "Moebius" Giraud passed away yesterday from cancer at the age of 73. He was close friend with Miyazaki, and supposedly he named his daughter Nausicaa. Just thought I'd let everyone here at the Tavern know.

He made a drawing of Nausicaa as well. You can view it at this link:

It is a sad news

It seemed to me one of the very few persons that miyazaki admired, mr.mobious was surely one of them. It is surely a great loss to anime ,manga and comic community.

Space Jam? Really?

Don't know many of his movies outside of Tron which was a cult movie, but sorry to hear of the death of a respected artist.

His artrwork was and is excellent... He will be missed...

On a lighter note, I can't believe seeing the UPA advert in zacherykrodel's link...

Gerald McBoing Boing of all characters... I used to see his cartoons at the drive-in theaters when I was a little brat... of course, some still say that I'm a brat, but in a more adult manner... The name calling, not the behaviour... lol

Cant say iv ever looked at his art, but i did watch a documentary of him with Miyazaki at their exhibition in Paris a few years ago

Always sad when anyone dies...

Edit: After trying to find it, im not sure if it was him at the exhibition with Miyazaki, but it probably was
