“To philosophize is to learn to die,” said Montaigne. But, faced with
the vertiginous immensity of philosophy, sometimes we’d rather die
than learn. In need of help? Trust Catherine Meurisse to illuminate
neon and nothingness and to air out Plato’s cave. The most famous
philosophers flow from her observant pen: Aristotle, Nietzsche,
Cioran, Rousseau, Voltaire, Hegel, Deleuze, Beauvoir, Arendt, Marx…
The cartoonist takes the opportunity to rail against the predominance
of men in the world of ideas. Handling philosophical concepts with
rigor and humor, dispelling myths, Man and Superwoman sketches
out a different way to think and be in the world.
Dans la bouche de Profitroll
Rasped on his way down a strange path, Petit Poilu lands in a well-stocked pantry. Sitting on a piece of cake, he meets Soussou, a friendly mouse.

Sitting on Profitroll’s tongue, in the middle of a gang of teeth, each more decayed and broken than the last, Petit Poilu will do everything in his power to save the poor little milk teeth! This album is all about help and mutual aid!

Petit pays
In 2016, Gaël Faye published his first novel, “Petit Pays” (Small Country), which won a number of prizes (including the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens and the Prix du roman Fnac). It tells the story of his happy childhood in a well-to-do expatriate enclave in Rwanda before the start of the civil war and Tutsi genocide that forced his family to seek refuge in France in 1995. Marzena Sowa and Sylvain Savoia, who created the moving “Marzi” series, have produced a vibrant adapatation of the story that highlights both its contemporary and its universal relevance.

Kid Paddle returns in a new best of, paying homage to the series’ most iconic location, the arcade, and to Mirador, its patient owner.
