The comic strip is a constantly changing artistic medium. It has been a source of inspiration for intellectuals for many decades. The Belgian Comic Strip Center regularly joins in the debate by publishing articles and by organizing conferences and international colloquiums. 1996 was an important year in this respect: the centenary of comic strips was celebrated with a colloquium on the pioneers of the comic strip. In the same year (1996), the Belgian Comic Strip Center organized another important forum: on the problem of comic strip copyright.
