  1. Book Review: Copenhagen by Anne-Caroline Pandolfo and Terkel Risbjerg

    Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today is Friday, and it’s time for another review. This week, I’m sharing my review of the graphic novel, Copenhagen, by Anne-Caroline Pandolfo and Terkel Risbjerg.

    Click the image to find the book!

    Copenhagen was published in 2024 by Dargaud and is 295 pages long.

    The Plot
    The story opens with a woman fatigued with her teenage daughter and craving a break. On a whim, she jets off from Paris to Copenhagen for a one-week getaway that turns into something much more unusual. Barely having unpacked, she finds the city in uproar — the body of a mermaid has been discovered, plunging Denmark into shock and disbelief.

    Characters
    Nana Miller
    Nana is the emotional core. Initially defined by fatigue and displacement, she becomes a magnetic guide through the city’sodd rhythms. Her vulnerability — especially being physically distant from her daughter — gives the narrative emotional weight while still allowing her to be curious and resilient.

    Thyge Thygesen
    Thyge is a contrast to Nana’s initially tentative presence. A quirky radio host with a gentle eccentricity, he embodies Copenhagen’s offbeat charm. His local knowledge and relatability provide humour and steady companionship as the mystery deepens.

    The Poodle Club
    A colourful ensemble supporting the investigation, the club members add both comedy and community. They aren’t just comic relief but help crystallise the graphic novel’s theme that everyone — no matter how strange — has a place in the story.

    Writing Style
    Pandolfo’s writing is breezy but observant, anchored in dialogue that is sharp, humorous, and often delightfully odd. She maintains a warm narrative voice, letting humour and curiosity coexist with moments of introspection without ever becoming preachy or sentimental. The pacing is brisk: scenes shift with a blend of comic timing and deliberately understated reflection, giving readers just enough to care about the stakes without bogging them down in overt melodrama.

    At its best, the script balances human vulnerability with surreal twists—like a dead mermaid being a national news event—so that the story feels both grounded and subtly magical. Sometimes the subplots threaten to pull attention away from Nana’s emotional thread, but this is a testament to the richness of the world Pandolfo builds rather than a fundamental flaw.

    Artwork
    Terkel Risbjerg’s art gives Copenhagen its visual soul. His style is expressive and textured, perfectly attuned to both the humour and melancholia of the script. Panels of urban landscapes feel lived-in yet slightly dreamlike, reflecting the story’s blend of realism and whimsy. Risbjerg’s character designs are distinctive, with faces and body language that communicate mood effortlessly.

    His layouts are inventive without being showy; quieter moments are rendered with gentle detail, and hectic scenes retain clarity without sacrificing energy. The visual pacing — the rhythm created by the sequence of panels — complements Pandolfo’s writing and pulls the reader through the narrative without confusion.

    Colour choices and shading further enhance the mood: muted tones for introspection, brighter accents for revelations and humour. This subtle visual storytelling enriches the text rather than competing with it.

    Final Thoughts
    Overall, Copenhagen is an engaging graphic novel that turns an unusual premise into an enjoyable blend of adventure, humour, and personal exploration. It doesn’t always go as deep as it could have—but what it does offer, it delivers with flair: likeable characters, witty dialogue, and artwork that vividly brings a city and a cast of eccentric personalities to life. Whether you’re drawn by the mystery or the beat of a woman figuring her life out in an unexpected place, there’s plenty here to reward readers who like their comics with a mix of charm and oddball energy.

    I’m giving Copenhagen an 8/10.

    Have you read Copenhagen? What did you think?

    As ever, thanks for stopping by and reading my review!

    Until next time,

  6. Podcast Episode: ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY

    Now I know the mysteries of the sea, Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore.

  7. COLORFUL MERMAY 2023 | BROWN

    Não tive tempo de seguir postando minhas sereias dos anos anteriores, mas nesse último dia de Mermay vou postar minhas preferidas. Essa definitivamente é uma delas, e um dos meus prints mais vendidos 🤎

  8. I have finally finished processing photos from our March trip to the Americas. That's taken a while. To mark the occasion here's a snap from the Mazatlán coastline towards the end of the time away. We'd not been to Mazatlán before but it very quickly became perhaps our favourite Mexican port. Compact, colourful architecture, lovely beach areas, excellent museum, superb craft ales. Everything we like.

  10. Kurz vor Ende des #Mermay habe ich ein Wortspiel von Kind 3 illustriert, weil mich #MÖHRMAID einfach nicht losließ.

  11. chart experiment/proof of concept.

    What concept is it proof of?
    1. That can do recursive
    2. An idea for a / -like syntax for treemap data

    What's a treemap?
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treemapp
    I guess mine is a simplified version where we alternate splitting by columns and rows.

  12. No cybersecurity and genAI in this post, just a bit of coding. 😉

    𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐝.𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐫: encode-mermaid-diagram.streaml

    🚀 I've just developed a Streamlit app that takes input in Mermaid.js code and outputs a rendered link for mermaid.live.

    This functionality enables users to seamlessly edit their code, addressing any errors or dynamically modifying the diagram as needed. I believe this tool could be useful for those working with Mermaid charts.

    Feel free to check it out and see how it can streamline your workflow!

  15. The green didn't go in as well as the blue. I'll be getting it adjusted next month. Overall am happy with new #vivid #hairdye #colours & the muted transitions. It's a lot brighter in real life. Depending on how light hits it, you can see multiple shades of blue & purple near the top parts. It's #mermaid #hair now.
