L'extravagante comédie du quotidien #1

Grégory Mardon's Les Poils kicks off this Dupuis slice-of-life comedy series with a cover that perfectly captures its playful spirit: a massively built, fur-clad Viking type and a slender young woman in a striped dress stroll side by side down a quiet, lamp-lit city street as if nothing could be more ordinary. The warm golden glow of the streetlights against the deep blue night sky gives the scene a charming, almost cinematic quality. If this 2011 opener is any indication, L'extravagante comédie du quotidien promises to find humor in the wonderfully odd contrasts of everyday life.
