There's no shame in having an imaginary friend. Floor van het Nederend makes no secret of it. It's been a long time since this musician and skater met Malvin, at the turn of a blank page. Since then, it's been love at first sight, with the cat becoming a pretext for the Dutch illustrator to imagine ever more breathtaking settings for the adventures of his beloved feline. The Amstelloden artist's clear line takes this black-and-white friend from the aridity of sub-Saharan deserts to the paradisiacal beaches of some lost island. As witnesses to this unfailing friendship, we take the opportunity to admire Floor van het Nederend's ability to transport his spectators and let them savor the flavor of these far-flung destinations. So, trembling, we ask him if he'll become our friend.
