About the series
Claire Bretécher’s Die Frustrierten ran for five issues from 1989 to 1990 with Rowohlt, collecting her sharp, satirical newspaper strips about the neuroses and social pretensions of the French bourgeoisie. Known for its biting humor and clean, expressive linework, the series dissects the petty frustrations of modern life with a distinctly European, grown-up sensibility. Bretécher’s work here remains a classic of sophisticated comic commentary, offering a wry portrait of a generation grappling with its own contradictions.
