Alimentation Générale #4

The fourth installment of this charming French slice-of-life series from Vide Cocagne brings together a motley crew of five characters — including a white-coated shopkeeper and an assortment of colorful regulars — posed in front of a produce-laden neighborhood grocery store. The cover's relaxed, sketch-like style captures the warm, everyday camaraderie of a local alimentation générale, the kind of corner shop that anchors a community. With the subtitle "Y en a un peu plus, je vous le mets quand même ?" — a playful nod to the classic generosity of small shopkeepers — this 2013 issue promises the same grounded, affectionate humor fans have come to love.
