Le Chat [petit format] #2

Philippe Geluck's beloved Le Chat soars back in this 2007 Casterman collection, Le Retour du Chat — and the cover says it all: the round, deadpan cat in his signature green suit glides Superman-style over a sunny horizon, declaring with perfect nonchalance, "Ça épate les souris" ("It impresses the mice"). It's a delightful snapshot of the dry, absurdist wit that makes this Franco-Belgian strip so irresistible, promising plenty more of Le Chat's philosophical one-liners within.
