Le Monde merveilleux des vieux #1

From Laetitia Coryn comes this cheerful French comic that finds pure comedy in the everyday life of senior couples. The cover sets the tone perfectly: an elderly man and woman tucked into bed together, both flashing enormous, gap-toothed grins — radiating the kind of good-humored warmth that makes you smile right back. Le Monde merveilleux des vieux promises a fond, affectionate look at growing old together, and this 2009 first volume from Glénat is a delightful place to start.
