Coucou tristesse! #[nn]

A gallery of dozens of expressive faces — young, old, weary, bemused, and even one rendered as a bare skull — covers every inch of this 2009 Glénat release from Sergio Salma and Baron Brumaire. The sheer range of human emotion on display, sketched with loose, lively linework, signals a work deeply interested in the comedy and melancholy of everyday life. Coucou Tristesse! wears its affectionate eye for people right there on its cover.
