Proveo je dva mjeseca u Pyongyangu, a u istoimenom stripu je zabiljeio svoje dojmove. Pyongyang will appeal to multiple audiences: current events buffs, Persepolis fans and those who just love a good yarn. Guy Delisle je u Sjevernoj Koreji radio kao posrednik izmeu francuske produkcijske kue za animacije i sjevernokorejskog studija koji im je radio manje zahtjevnu animaciju.
Delisle's simple but expressive art works well with his account, humanizing the few North Koreans he gets to know (including "Comrade Guide" and "Comrade Translator"), and facilitating digressions into North Korean history and various bizarre happenings involving brandy and bear cubs. Delisle shifts between accounts of his work as an animator and life as a visitor in a country where all foreigners take up only two floors of a 50-story hotel. Combining a gift for anecdote and an ear for absurd dialogue, Delisle's retelling of his adventures makes a gently humorous counterpoint to the daily news stories about the axis of evil, a Lost in Translation for the Communist world. He also got crappy ice cream, a barrage of propaganda and a chance to fly paper airplanes out of his 15th-floor hotel window. While there, he got a rare chance to observe firsthand one of the last remaining totalitarian Communist societies. In 2001, French-Canadian cartoonist Delisle traveled to North Korea on a work visa to supervise the animation of a children's cartoon show for two months.
