Artist's Notes
This is the most magical experience I had during my entire one year stay in France, so I think it deserves a comic! Thank you so much to Daniela for letting me write about Twilly and the hotel. It’s been a pleasure! If you ever visit Hôtel Arnaud Bernard at Toulouse and you see Twilly and Daniela, say hi to them for me. Thanks for reading!
Trivia
- The building used in the title logo is the Capitole, Toulouse’s city hall.
- Toulouse is known as ‘the Pink City’ because of the pinkish tint in the terracotta used in its architecture. Twilly’s collar and Hermès’ Twilly perfume also happen to be pink. What a coincidence!
- I seriously thought Twilly was like a human seeing how smart she was!
Merci infiniment pour cette histoire, c’est dommage que vous n’ayez pas vu la deuxième chatte que nous avons elle est toute aussi jolie! Je suis contente que ma princesse vous ai si bien accueilli!
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer à l’hôtel si vous repassez par Toulouse, je vous raconterai toutes les bêtises de twilly!
