Customer Reviews

Teen memories from a talented cartoonist.
This is one a series of graphic novels featuring Paul, whose exploits are clearly based on the Quebecois artist's own life. Being autobiographical, there isn't always the satisfying story arc you might find in fiction. Stuff, pretty much, just happens. Thats how life is. It doesn't happen in three acts. That doesn't bother me though as I find his books charming and poignant pieces of nostalgia.

This though is perhaps the most structured on the books, outlining Paul's adventures as a bit of a spoilt young man, who embarks on a summer job working with deprived youngsters. The drawing is terrific, and the characterisation of the children is especially nice. The story is nicely rounded off in a leap into the present.

Another very nice comic book by this talented man.
