Eugène #12

The twelfth volume of Jan Dirk Barreveld's Eugène finds the whole family hunkered down for "Lockdown" — and the cover says it all: Eugène and his household, including a black cat and a dog, are crammed into a storage room absolutely stuffed with toilet paper rolls and bulk supplies, all four of them staring anxiously at a tiny television. Barreveld's expressive, warm linework captures both the absurdity and the cozy claustrophobia of the situation perfectly. A charming snapshot of pandemic-era life filtered through the cheerful chaos of family comedy.
