The Handbook to Lazy Parenting #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA humorous and practical guide for parents who want to streamline their approach to raising children, this collection from Drawn & Quarterly offers a series of comic strips and essays that embrace a more relaxed, low-effort parenting style. The book collects material from the original 2019 series, providing witty insights and relatable scenarios for modern parents looking to cut down on unnecessary stress and perfectionism.
In "The Blues," Guy Delisle crafts a quietly tense, deeply human story from the everyday chaos of parenting, where a dinner party’s last-minute meat shortage leads to a small, well-intentioned request—ask the kids to skip meat at supper—and a surprising, uncomfortable fallout. With Delisle’s signature observational humor and restrained art, the issue captures the fine line between guidance and control, all drawn in his familiar, expressive style.
Guy Delisle tries to stretch his meager dinner party meat by convincing Alice and Louis to skip meat at supper—only to find himself oddly frustrated when they actually do. A quiet, awkward dinner unfolds as the family navigates the thin line between convenience and guilt.
When Louis gets in trouble for drawing in class, Guy Delisle steps in — only to find himself unexpectedly roped into designing a poster for the school's open house. What starts as a small act of parental defense spirals into a surprisingly heartfelt (and slightly chaotic) journey through the absurdities of school life.
