When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Edika, auteur de BD emblématique du magazine « Fluide glacial », est mort
D’origine égyptienne, il s’était installé en France dans les années 1970 et se distinguait par son sens du décalage et son humour absurde, propice à la mise en images de ses obsessions. Il s’est éteint le 16 décembre, à l’âge de 85 ans.
