Sixpack France is pleased to announce the release of its first comic, signed by the experimented hand of Andy Rementer.

“Comfort Slaves” is the tragic and absurd story of the modern humanity.

Through this funny and silent comic, Andy Rementer brings us face to the paradoxes of our everyday life: commercial overexposure, tough marketing, obsession of the object, conformism..

The fanzine comes with two  Sixpack x Andy Rementer tee shirts sold separately.

The whole collection is now available our online store.

To celebrate this event, we had a little conversation with Andy Rementer.
The anwsers are just below.

What is your relationship with Technology?

I am a fan of most technology, but find the social effects weird and disturbing at times. I wish people could see though a lot of the useless bullshit that is often forced upon us. Of course I am in no way against technology! The computer plays a big role in my work process, and the internet has helped my illustration career blossom. Thank you internet.

According to Andy Rementer, what are the purposes of satire?

The purpose of satire is to make people laugh, and then look out of the window and think about what they are doing with their lives. Then cry a little.

What is the importance of the message in your work?

To me it is very important to at least try to say something with my work where possible. While it is not always easy, I feel that having a message is a way to create some sense of ’staying power’ with what I do.

Unfortunately I spend most of my time doodling the most meaningless, incoherent nonsense in my sketchbooks.

Is it the ultimate aim for an artist to kill his forefathers?

No, not to kill. But instead to steal from and then build upon what has already been laid out for him.

Are there any autobiographical elements in your work?

Yes a lot. Although I haven’t taken the big step yet of drawing myself into my comics. Maybe that will happen when I get older.

What do you look like?

Somewhat tall, dirty blonde hair, green eyes, brown glasses, button-down shirt. This feels weird.

Thanks a lot Andy.
