Gestern erhielt ich von Christian Denayer die Nachricht, dass sein Freund A.P. Duchateau verstorben ist:
Your mail arrived just a sad day…
Unfortunately, I have to announce that my old friend André Paul Duchateau passed today in his 95th year.
It is a very respectable age but it makes me a chock because he was a friend since 1967 (!)*
*
At 95 everything can change very quickly at any time.
More or less 53 years (!) of friendship and 50 years of professional collaboration, about 60 albums in common... a journey tinged with mutual respect.
Met in 1967 - I was 22 - at Tibet’s home, *André Paul came into my young professional life as a real gentleman. He coached me and remained the same all these years and slipped away discreetly … as a gentleman.
A great gentleman. With Tibet and him, we formed a beautiful Third of friends.
Dare I say that Tibet and AP Duchâteau were my "fathers in comics"?*
Certainly!
