J'ai un ado à la maison #[nn]

A frazzled father at his wit's end takes center stage on this cover, literally pulling his hair out as two very different teenagers crowd in on either side — a punk-styled girl and a guitar-shredding boy blasting away on an electric red axe. The subtitle says it all: Manuel de survie à l'usage des pères ("Survival Guide for Fathers"), and the chaotic, expressive artwork from Lai, Goupil, Antilogus, and Festjens delivers that domestic comedy with gleeful energy. Published in 2012 by Editions Jungle, this French humor album looks like a warm, laugh-out-loud salute to every parent who has ever survived the teenage years — barely.
