In "Women and Children First," Mr. Jean, a dry-witted Parisian in his twenties and early thirties, navigates the quiet chaos of bachelor life—balancing publisher deadlines, romantic uncertainty, and the looming specter of adulthood—all while trying to keep his apartment (and sanity) intact. Written by the creator of the series and illustrated in the signature deadpan style, the story captures the universal dread of growing up with a perfectly timed shrug.
