I was looking around at Topor's online presence and discovered that he wrote the scenario and dialogue for Fantastic Planet (with Rene Laloux, the director), and that he created the original artwork! Gosh. It was like two parts of my world crashing together when I discovered this.

The Tenant
Topor wrote The Tenant. I've not read it and thought I'd order a copy. Look what I found..
See the Typo? Read the spine and the cover.
Had a laugh with Petr about it as we concluded that Topor would most likely have enjoyed this little 'error'.

Hi, I'm Emmanuelle, I was looking for Topor's drawing, and I found your blog. It's funny because I have a blog about drawings too(and in the future, about animation).
Keep up the good work!
