J'aime pas #2

A delightful 2007 offering from Hoëbeke, this second volume in the J'aime pas series turns Luz's sharp caricature pen on French popular song. The cover says it all: a spiky, heavily accessorized figure bearing the name "Vincent Delerm" on his chest strikes an exaggerated punk pose in front of a grand piano, the contrast between the instrument and the attitude radiating gleeful absurdity. Fans of affectionate musical satire will find Luz's loose, expressive line work as entertaining here as the joke itself.
