C'est l'époque qui veut ça - Revu et corrigé #[nn]

A sharp slice of 1983 office life from Dargaud, this *Hoviv* collection carries the wry subtitle *C'est l'époque qui veut ça* — "It's just the way things are." The cover sets the tone perfectly: a rotund, wide-eyed figure sits behind a cluttered desk while an animated businessman waves what appears to be a dismissal notice, briefcase in hand, the whole scene crackling with the absurd tension of workplace politics. Fans of French humor comics will find this "Revu et corrigé" edition a thoroughly enjoyable snapshot of the era's satirical cartooning at its most playfully pointed.
