Le théorème de Karinthy

In this two-issue French comic series from Des ronds dans l'O, writer Jörg Ulbert and artist Jörg Mailliet explore the unsettling implications of the "six degrees of separation" concept, known as the Karinthy theorem. Spanning from 2013 to 2017, the story uses a tight, suspenseful narrative to examine how interconnectedness can turn from a social curiosity into a web of conspiracy and hidden influence. Mailliet’s atmospheric artwork grounds the cerebral premise in a noir-infused visual style, making this a compact but potent entry in the European bande dessinée tradition.
