L'Obsolescence programmée de nos sentiments #[nn]

Published by Dargaud in 2018, this quietly moving Franco-Belgian album brings together writer Zidrou and artist Aimée de Jongh for a meditation on love and time suggested by its very title — The Planned Obsolescence of Our Feelings. Aimée de Jongh's cover says everything with remarkable restraint: two elderly figures, seen from behind, sit side by side in vulnerable, tender closeness, their white and silver hair the only adornment needed. It's the kind of image that lingers — understated, human, and drawn with a warmth that makes you want to turn the page immediately.
