Even More Bad Parenting Advice #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Math," Guy tries to buy Louis a book, but the boy has his heart set on one about the Renaissance—something the comic shop doesn’t have. With limited options, Guy settles on a mature readers comic about gladiators, leading to a quiet moment of parental compromise. Written by Guy Delisle, Helge Dascher, and Rob Aspinall, and illustrated by Guy Delisle, this 2014 issue from Drawn & Quarterly features a cover by Delisle, capturing the moment with his signature dry wit and observational charm.
When Guy teases his kids about inviting a homeless man into their home, he doesn’t expect the joke to follow them into the next day’s visit from a friend—especially when his daughter, Alice, innocently wonders aloud if the guest might be a street person. A quiet moment of domestic humor unfolds as family dynamics and playful exaggeration blur the line between joke and reality.
In "A Night at the B&B," Guy tries to explain to Louis why he insists on sleeping next to the door—his detailed, increasingly frantic account of potential knife-wielding intruders turns a simple night at a bed and breakfast into a hilariously tense domestic standoff. Written by a creator whose name isn't listed and drawn by an artist whose name isn't listed, the story leans into the absurdity of parental anxiety with sharp, deadpan humor.
Jo and Louis wander into a cluttered comic shop, where Guy tries to pick out a gift—something thoughtful, something for Louis’s love of history. But when Louis asks for a book on the Renaissance, Guy settles on a gritty, mature readers comic about gladiators, hoping it’ll do the trick.
In this quietly funny slice of domestic life, Louis worries about his weight—only to learn the real source of his distress isn’t his body, but his brother Guy’s relentless teasing. A simple moment of honesty reveals a family dynamic where humor and insecurity collide in unexpected ways.
In "Punctuality," Louis is determined to make it to school on time, but his dad Guy insists there’s no rush—until the clock starts slipping through their fingers. With deadpan humor and perfectly timed panels, the story captures the quiet chaos of a parent-child morning where good intentions and bad timing collide.
