C'est triste

In this brief, two-issue series from Belgian publisher L'employé du Moi, C'est triste (2007–2009) offers a quiet, melancholic slice-of-life vignette. Writer and artist Denis Deprez crafts a spare, introspective story about a solitary man's daily routine and the small, poignant moments that define his existence. The series is a subtle meditation on loneliness and the beauty found in ordinary sadness, showcasing Deprez's signature minimalist linework and understated storytelling. Though short, it stands as a delicate, resonant example of European alternative comics' ability to find depth in simplicity.
