Although it is quite a controversial local issue, no one should be mistaken about the fact that Spanish is certainly spoken in Catalonia -by at least as many people as those who speak Catalan as a mother tongue. Most of the population is supposed to speak both to a native level. just one little comment: Spanish is actually spoken in Cataluña, and has been for centuries.

I would REALLY like to see exhibits at comic book conventions. I enjoy conventions, but I want to do more than buy things or act like a geek in front of creators I like. I want to see things that I won't see anywhere else. A traveling roadshow of comic history, or something like that. Things that aren't for sale, but can be appreciated by real comics fans. I think if we had more displays like that, the movie/toy/gaming crowd would be put back in their place. It would add a much needed touch of class to the experience, I'm sure. Great post, Heidi.

Speaking of Mariscal and Panter's comments, there's a couple of very nigh-profile pieces of Mariscal public art in Barcelona. One is down near the waterfront somewhere between the Christopher Columbus statue in the round and the old Estacio de Francia train station, you can't miss it, it's very lichtenstein/pop art-ish.
