The return of Zouèbetévé

Following on from the drawing of the Marianne qui rit, I’m continuing to provide Nimatek with non-Nuibie content to diversify a little! 🙂

Context

In December 2020, I imagined and drew an android as the personification of a short but intense period of my life, from 2008 to 2010, during which I participated in various WebTVs, the most famous of which were VFM1 and Canal 12. These WebTVs objectively sucked, but considering how young I and my “colleagues” were at the time, it actually wasn’t that bad! Looking back, I have no qualms about saying that we were streamers before our time. We were simply too far ahead of our time, and we suffered what virtually all those who are ahead of their time suffer: misunderstanding, ignorance, and therefore oblivion. But that’s all right. 😉

The new drawing!

Four years after giving birth to the android WebTV, I decided to bring him out of the closet again, giving him a name (Zouèbetévé), and a slightly more cartoony look than before, but keeping the essentials: the head is in fact the VFM1 logo, the scarf has one of the colors of the Canal 12 logo, a “television bust” in the other color of the Canal 12 logo, legs in the colors of the VFM website, and the whole thing looks a bit messed up and patched up all over the place (one antenna is twisted, one leg has been sewn back on, etc.), as if to remind us that our WebTVs were a bit of a mess after all. ^^

Why does “la Marianne qui rit” laugh? (by Técé)

La Marianne qui rit

This drawing, completed on July 14th, perfect, the day for the French national holiday, illustrates Marianne, the personification of the French nation, with 1001 avatars, this time by the humble Creusot draftsman that I am! 🙂

Here, Marianne laughs in front of the Palais Bourbon, the eminent decision-making place for the land of the Lumières! But why is the Marianne laughing, you might ask? Well, because this Marianne, who embodies the third France of which I am a part, this forgotten, neglected, despised France, has been sullied for weeks by an elite made up of politicians, influencers, artists, sportsmen and women, etc. etc. She has been sullied, mocked, vilified, vilified, vilified, vilified, vilified, vilified, vilified, vilified, vilified. She has been smeared, mocked, defamed, you name it. And despite all that, she’s done pretty well for herself. So you’re going to tell me that doesn’t justify laughing. Patience, I’m coming to that! 😉

My Marianne is laughing now, because all those who smeared her, mocked her, defamed her, etc., those people steeped in smugness and contempt, are now in a situation where they don’t know what to do. The people who set the traps found themselves trapped, and here’s the result: my Marianne laughs! 🙂

Carelle and her two friends

Lore Nuibie – Adult Carelle and her friends

After the drawing of Cassandra and Basile as adults, the next logical step was to depict Carelle as an adult, and for once, unveil future plot characters: Ouro the golden macalite, and Prata the silver macalite.

As you can see, Carelle, as an adult, has swapped her jacket and pants for a rather short black dress, which could make her look like a “vamp”, according to one of our friends who has been following the evolution of the Nuibie universe for several years 😉 But she’s also made some new acquaintances, including Ouro and Prata! 🙂

Who are Ouro and Prata? They’re orphaned macalites who met Carelle early on in the plot (in fact, this meeting takes place during the first “arc” of Nuibie College), and who, over the years, develop a boundless admiration for the Hursian woman.

Note: Ouro and Prata were already at Carelle’s side in “Astral Masane …avec Basile le hursian” (aka “AMBH”), which was the first comic experiment with the Nuibie universe, but which remained unfinished. Even then, the two macalites were portrayed as adoring Carelle more than reason.
