Fernand Ball

Fernand Ball was an artistic alias adopted by Christian Lanckvrind, a friend of Belgian cartoonists and comic book authors Thierry Culliford and [url=https://discogs.com/artist/211353]Frédéric Jannin[/url], for his appearances with New Wave/post-punk/synthpop band The Bowling Balls. Invented as a purely fictional "favorite group" of the main protagonists in Culliford and Jannin's comic strip "[url=https://discogs.com/artist/4236274]Germain and us…[/url]" published by Spirou magazine, the Bowling Balls ultimately became a real-life ensemble supposedly formed by four "Ball brothers."
