Je ne savais pas qu’il fallait venir costumé. Je vois pourtant que tu es déguisée en gâteau de Noël. Il n'est pas de la famille mais vit dans la maison qui était la leur. Pollux est un vieux garçon qui passe son temps au café du coin, qui se laisse aller. Même ses femmes imaginaires l'ont quitté.

Juliette by Camille Jourdy, translated by Aleshia Jensen - CBC.ca Juliette by Camille Jourdy, translated by Aleshia Jensen - CBC.ca

Me declaro fan incondicional de Camille Jourdy. Estaba convencida de que nada de lo que publicase posteriormente se acercaría a la maravilla que es Rosalie Blum, y aunque esta Juliette no me ha gustado tantísimo, quizás porque el impacto de lo novedoso se pierde, me parece también una obra genial.

Aleshia Jensen’s precise translation from the original French captures the nuances of how families talk to each other, alternating between sharpness and hilarity, as well as the cadences of small-town life. De nuevo tenemos una historia del día a día, cotidiana, con detalles que recuerdan a Rosalie quizás, por el tono, por el humor, por las situaciones surrealistas que hacen prácticamente imposible no soltar alguna sonrisa, con personajes cercanos con los que es fácil encariñarse a las pocas viñetas, que necesitan un giro de 180º en sus vidas, algo perdidos. Ah parce que t'aurais voulu que je t'empêche de te marier ? C'est nouveau ça... Ça va être de ma faute... Camille Jourdy is a writer and illustrator from France. Her other works include graphic novels Rosalie Blum and Les Vermeilles. She works with Moulin Roty, a toy company. ( From Drawn & Quarterly)

Jourdy’s graphic novel takes a gently unravelling approach to bittersweet familial and romantic relationships. Though the author offers disaffection as one possible coping mechanism in dealing with a fractured nuclear family, Jourdy’s tale also suggests that some relationships could be as reparative as they are destructive. Beneath a ghost’s pallid costume is a naked, living person. Executed in watercolour and consistently blushing with pigment, Juliette takes us behind the curtains and beneath the sheets. Juliette, « parisienne coincée » et hypocondriaque, vient se ressourcer quelques jours chez papa - problèmes de boulot ? Crise existentielle, en tout cas, qui se manifeste par un sentiment de vacuité et des bouffées d'angoisse. Sa soeur aînée Marylou a d'autres problèmes : mariée, mère de deux enfants, elle doit ruser pour passer un peu de temps avec son amant. It is a priority for CBC to create products that are accessible to all in Canada including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. The characters and the dialogue were incredibly realistic. Some of the disputes actually made me uncomfortable because of how real they seemed. As usual with Camille Jourdy I loved the colors.Encantoume. E ese é o verbo preciso, porque é un cómic "encantador": bonito, emocionante, moi divertido e agudo na súa maneira de achegarse a personaxes perdidos. É o primeiro que leo de Camille Jourdy (é da miña quinta!) e paréceme fabuloso. A historia non é sorprendente porque non o quere ser: é un compendio de vidas "provincianas" nunha cidade francesa "de provincias" (que a autora coñece e debuxa con moito cariño). E debaixo desa capa de presunta vulgaridade hai segredos, vidas complexas, ganas de amar e de ser amad@ dun feixe de personaxes trazados con empatía. featured sponsor Vancouver!

Talking is reserved for when we’re really drunk or high, or about to be murdered or something,” says Sammie of male friendships early in Mattie Lubchansky’s “ Boys Weekend.” It’s a statement that will be cast into relief over the course of the story, which finds the transfeminine Sammie (who, like Lubchansky, uses they/them pronouns) reluctantly joining a bachelor party gone spectacularly bad. By the end of their time on the artificial island El Campo, a sort of near-future Las Vegas where anything goes, Sammie and their former friends have gotten drunk and high, and been about to be murdered together, but talk still comes with only the greatest difficulty — when it comes at all.

The book is entitled Juliette, floating in the centre of the cover in a grassy clearing is a second, possibly alternative name: or, the Ghosts Return in the Spring. depicts a milieu where full-blown depression is seldom more than a frame or two away. Most people look like they’re struggling with their weight; men are disinclined to shave but not quite ambitious enough to grow beards; smoking is seemingly required by law. The place to be, for many, is the local bar. Called Le Tropical, its ambience is as unlike a beach in Tahiti as could be imagined. But it is the neighbourhood nerve centre, practically the only informal gathering place in a setting that otherwise discourages such things. J'ai quand même bien le droit de te payer des études ! T'es partie de la maison tellement tôt que je ne t'ai jamais rien payé du tout. Ha sido de esos libros que lees con pena porque se acaba rápido y encima te encanta tanto que no quieres llegar a la última página. Wordless and experimental, Joe Kessler’s “ The Gull Yettin” traces the disquieting connection between a young boy and the shape-shifting, birdlike creature that is obsessed with him. We follow the boy from the death of his family, through a perilous voyage across the water and into, for a time, the care of a woman who takes him in as if he were her own.Jourdy renders these encounters in glorious shades of ripe pink flesh and the deepest green of high summer. Her parents, long divorced but still driven to torment each other, are intent on finding love, just with other people. While her mother dabbles in painting and younger men, her father is convinced that he is developing dementia. Meanwhile, the family’s aging grandmother doesn’t recognize anyone and has a tendency to chew on the tablecloth at dinner parties. Haha ! t'as remarqué ça toi... Et bientôt tu vas nous dire que tu nous aimes ? T'as raison, tu dois avoir Alzheimer...
