Dad #5

The fifth volume of Nob's warm-hearted slice-of-life series Dad arrives with a perfectly charming cover: a grinning father hides under his blanket in the dark, cradling his phone — which glows with a little blue heart — while his four unimpressed kids loom behind him with varying degrees of suspicion and exasperation. Subtitled Amour, gloire et corvées ("Love, Glory, and Chores"), the 2018 Dupuis album captures that delightful tension between parental daydreaming and the relentless reality of family life. If you've ever tried to sneak a quiet moment for yourself only to be immediately outnumbered, this one will feel very familiar.
