Hello, I am Otomo.

I thank you deeply for this special prize.

For me, the universe of comic strips opened my eyes.

My work has been highly influential.

To receive an award from France's Angoulême, I still cannot believe it.

I don't draw a lot lately, so I am even more surprised to receive this award.

But I thank you, deeply. This award will encourage me to get back to work.

Still, a very big thank you.


If a native speaker wants to take a crack at it, go ahead, this is just several years of French from an English-speaker.

I feel they have great taste in their various dog breeds.

Good translation, just one thing though : in the forth sentence he says "My work has been highly influenced. "
He is probably talking about the comics that influenced his work. Anyway good job for the translation Wink
