Le petit Pape Pie 3,14 #[nn]

From Fluide Glacial comes this delightfully irreverent album by Boucq — Le Petit Pape Pie 3,14 — where a tiny, white-robed pope stands triumphantly atop a red podium with arms outstretched, elevated quite literally on the back of a hunched, dark-robed figure below him. The cover composition is absurdly funny yet rendered with Boucq's characteristic draftsmanship, hinting at sharp satirical observations about power, religion, and hierarchy. A wonderfully offbeat 2022 release that announces its tone with complete confidence before you've even opened the cover.
