Joséphine #3

Three pairs of underwear on a clothesline set a charmingly domestic — and quietly absurd — tone for this third volume of Pénélope Bagieu's beloved French series. The cover finds Joséphine, bespectacled and ponytailed, gazing upward with her signature mix of mild bewilderment and wry resignation, perfectly capturing the spirit of a character perpetually caught between life's small indignities and its unexpected turns. Published by Delcourt in 2012, Joséphine – Change de Camp is a delightful entry in one of French comics' most warm-hearted and relatable slice-of-life series.
