Issue #10 of Dirty Plotte has Nick included in a dream sequence that begins the issue. The title of the story is "Do You Trust Me?", likely a play on "Do You Love Me?" A full panel from the first page is available.
Although the comic is for Mature Readers, it's still cool to see Nick as a cartoon.

"The series is "Dirty Plotte" by Julie Doucet - but issue #10 was called "Purity Plotte". The Nick Cave reference is from one of her dream-stories (she does a lot of those, and some are fairly frightening!) - dream-Julie is in the front row of a Nick Cave concert, when Nick pulls her from the audience. He gets her to wrap her legs around his waist while he spins her around. He asks Julie "do you trust me?" and tells her that if she really trusts him, she will believe him when he tells her that a man he will point out from the audience will be the love of her life. She feels uneasy as she thinks it's a trick, but she says she trusts him. Then he stops and says "Ok, the man of your life is...HIM!" and points out a spotty geeky guy in the audience. She feels mortified that she ever trusted him, and Nick runs off laughing. As a coda, the real-life Julie decides that her dream is a very powerful message for her not to trust anybody...
"Julie Doucet is French-Canadian, now based in Berlin. There are clues in her work that she is schizophrenic, which could account for her powerfully creative, dream-inspired self-analysis (a lot of her stuff seems to be incredibly personal). I like it a lot..."

Marc dropped this note to the Goodson list:
The new 11th issue of Julie Doucet's excellent comic Dirty Plotte has a short strip by Berend Vonk of Amsterdam called "Tintin in Tibet", a very odd remake of the Tintin comic book (de Dandes Desinee). In it, Nick takes Tintin's place as singer at a show at The Nepal Starclub. All Nick says is, "God Bless your funeral pies." By Julie, in the same issue is a (dream ?) comic of seeing Blixa in a cafe wearing 'his famous blue banana-shaped hat. Julie lives in Berlin now, so maybe she sees him around.
