Sarah Spits

In the irreverent, gag-a-page world of Dupuis, Sarah Spits ran from 1985 to 2004 across 19 issues, a long-running comedic series centered on a sharp-tongued young woman whose knack for literal spitting—and sharp, often absurd commentary—lands her in a constant stream of everyday mishaps and eccentric encounters. Best known for its deadpan humor and the distinctive, clean-lined art style of its creator, the series became a cult favorite among readers of European bande dessinée for its wry, character-driven comedy. While never a mainstream hit, Sarah Spits stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of slice-of-life humor with a surreal twist, quietly influencing a generation of gag-strip artists with its timing and tone.
