Den her er tæt på hjertet! Vi fejrer Fantasks store jubilæum i vores program. Henry, Frederik, Thomas og jeg er gået all in med en stribe interviews, herunder med stifterne Rolf Bülow og Søren Pedersen samt den nuværende ejer Marit Nim. Dertil kommer (naturligvis) Marvel-Morten Søndergård, webmester Mads Stoumann og ven af familien Lars Boye. Samt kunder!<span id="more-8600"></span></p>
<p>Det har været både hårdt og virkelig sjovt at lave og endnu engang tage turen ned af Erindringsvej! Og husk, det er i morgen, der er fest i Skt Pedersstræde 18, med fortsættelse på lørdag. Jeg ville ænske jeg kunne sige, at vi ses, men jeg er bortrejst så må nøjes med at drømme mig dertil. Med et livs erfaring som kunde og medarbejder burde det imidlertid ikke være et problem. Længe leve Fantask!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://metabunker.dk/?attachment_id=7624" rel="attachment wp-att-7624"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-7624" title="Fantask_nu" src="http://metabunker.dk/wp-content/uploads/Fantask_nu-500x333.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" srcset="https://metabunker.dk/wp-content/uploads/Fantask_nu-500x333.jpg 500w, https://metabunker.dk/wp-content/uploads/Fantask_nu-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://metabunker.dk/wp-content/uploads/Fantask_nu.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a><br />
Meget tyder på at <a href="https://www.fantask.dk/">Fantask</a> er slut. I fredag i sidste uge sendte Butikkens ejer Marit Nim en besked ud til Butikkens abonnenter om, at de lukker til sommer. Det satte i den grad fællesskabet i affekt &#8212; Benjamin Herbst fra <a href="https://www.superheltenlegetoej.dk/">Superhelten.dk</a> igangsatte en <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/hjaelp-fantask-verdens-aeldste-tegneserieforretning">GoFundMe</a> for at støtte Butikken, i håbet om at det kunne forhindre en lukning. På under 24 timer var indsamlingen oppe på en kvart million, på mindre end en uge nåede vi en halv. Marit annoncerede som reaktion, at Fantask ikke lukker, men nok stadig må flytte fra adressen Skt Pedersstræde 18, hvor Butikken har ligget siden 1971.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Det virker helt sikkert. Fantasks stiftere Rolf Bülow og Søren Pedersen ejer lokalerne, som samtidig udgør deres pension. De har siden de afhændede butikken til Marit sikret, at hun kunne køre den på gode vilkår. At Marit så i sidste uge annoncerer at hun bliver nødt til at lukke, viser tydeligt at det ikke længere kan lade sig gøre uden større forandringer. Vi håber alle på det bedste, da Fantask jo i den grad må karakteriseres som en kulturbærende institution i Danmark &#8212; og en der har betydet enormt meget for enormt mange, herunder undertegnede, som endda en overgang arbejdede der.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Selvom det ikke er overraskende, gør det ondt at se Butikken kæntre her i den digitale tidsalder, hvor det i stigende grad er blevet vanskeligt at drive fysisk boghandel. Og det bringer alle minderne frem, i hvert fald hos undertegnede, men tydeligvis også for de tusindvis andre, der har lagt deres hårdt indtjente i hvad der nok snarere er en kærlighedserklæring til Fantask og et rygstød til holdet bag, end det er en realistisk redning. Lad os se, og <em>Godspeed</em> til alle de involverede, før og nu.<span id="more-7611"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">På Twitter startede min gamle ven fra Fantask, Lars Pedersen en lille leg, hvor vi valgte syv ting, vi forbinder med Fantask, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Mine7fraFantask?src=hash" target="new" rel="noopener">#Mine7fraFantask</a>. Jeg tænkte jeg ville bringe min her, da den opsummerer det liv jeg har haft med Butikken meget godt, selvom jeg naturligvis har udeladt tonsvis af andre minder og indkøb. Min tråd er gengivet nedenfor. Check de andres på Twitter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Men inden du går i gang (eller klikker væk!), vil jeg lige samle op på mine tidligere skriverier om Fantask: mit hyldestskrift i anledning af 30-årsjubilæet i 2001, <a href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=1468">&#8220;Biksen som Bastion&#8221;</a>, oprindeligt udgivet i <em>Rackham</em> #4, og mine erindringsglimt, <a href="http://nummer9.dk/artikler/fantask-forst/">&#8220;Fantask Først!&#8221;</a> i anledning af 40-års-jubilæet i 2011, offentliggjort på Nummer9. Desværre er billederne røget fra den sidste. Jeg vil se, om jeg kan overføre teksten hertil og lægge billederne på igen. Når det sker, opdaterer jeg her. Nåja, og her er <a href="http://nummer9.dk/artikler/fantask-ejer-marit-nim-min-plan-er-at-fortsaette-i-samme-and/" target="new" rel="noopener">mit interview</a> med Marit i anledning af 40-årsjubilæet, hvor hun mere eller mindre &#8211; og, skulle det vise sig, risikabelt &#8211; udtrykte en &#8216;if it ain&#8217;t broke, don&#8217;t fix it&#8217;-holding til butikkens drift.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let&#8217;s take a trip down memory lane&#8230;

<em>The Week in Review</em></p>
<p>What a week. Starting with Fantask&#8217;s <a target="new" href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=3588">fortieth</a> <a target="new" href="http://nummer9.dk/artikler/fantask-forst/">anniversary</a> celebration last weekend and ending with my participation at NNCORE&#8217;s <a href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=3611">foundational</a> <a target="new" href="http://nummer9.dk/nyheder/nordisk-forskningsnetvaerk-kickstartet/">meeting</a> with a short Berlin jaunt to see the astonishing <a target="new" href="http://www.smb.museum/smb/gesichter/">Renaissance portraits</a> and <a href="http://www.museumsportal-berlin.de/startseiteninhalte/hokusai-retrospektive.html">Hokusai shows</a> there. I hope to return a bit to the portraits (though I can&#8217;t promise anything), but just wanted to say a few words about Hokusai here.</p>
<p>A huge retrospective covering the artist&#8217;s eighty-plus year career, the show really brought home just how prodigious an artist he was. He must have been drawing <em>all the time</em>. The kind of artist whose ambition is to understand no less than <em>everything about the world</em> through drawing, like Leonardo or Dürer. From the proliferating analytical notations in his <em>manga</em> and other instructional booklets to the elegant summaries of his brush paintings, his is a recording of human experience as such. Not the idea of it, and not really with an attempt to comment, but rather a continuous ambition to formulate a vision that suspends it within a order that grasps it all without reducing it to style. In a sense, what all cartooning should aspire toward.</p>

That&#8217;s my man Lars in 1991 and this past Saturday, respectively. The <a href="http://metabunker.dk/?p=3583">fortieth anniversary of Fantask</a> was a trip down memory lane for us kids, plus a milestone in Danish comics-, SF-, and gaming culture.

Today the Copenhagen comics-, SF- and games store <a target="new" href="http://www.fantask.dk">Fantask</a> celebrates its fortieth anniversary. It is the oldest continually existing store of its kind in the world and an institution in Danish Danish comics, SF, and geek culture. An operation built from the ground up by its founders Søren Pedersen and Rolf Bülow (pictured) as well as the many people who have worked there or otherwise contributed over the years. It is currently being run by Marit Nim and Kenn Andersen, who are keeping the spirit alive. One of those businesses that remain a presence, because it has heart.</p>
<p>Over at Nummer9 we&#8217;re celebrating forty years of Fantask. I&#8217;ve written my <a target="new" href="http://nummer9.dk/artikler/fantask-forst/">Fantask memoirs</a> in shortform, while Thomas presents <a target="new" href="http://nummer9.dk/artikler/galleri-fantask-i-40-ar/">a gallery</a> spanning the four decades of its existence. I&#8217;ve also <a target="new" href="http://nummer9.dk/artikler/fantask-ejer-marit-nim-min-plan-er-at-fortsaette-i-samme-and/">interviewed Marit</a> about the store, past, present, and future.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you&#8217;re around today, do drop by the store. The gang is all going to be there (plus everything is 30% off). Here&#8217;s a drink *ting!</p>
