Even More Bad Parenting Advice #[nn]
In "Math," Guy tries to buy Louis a book, but the boy has his heart set on one about the Renaissance—something the comic shop doesn’t have. With limited options, Guy settles on a mature readers comic about gladiators, leading to a quiet moment of parental compromise. Written by Guy Delisle, Helge Dascher, and Rob Aspinall, and illustrated by Guy Delisle, this 2014 issue from Drawn & Quarterly features a cover by Delisle, capturing the moment with his signature dry wit and observational charm.
