Le Guide de ... #24

From the creative team of Godard and Goupil comes this delightfully grumpy entry in the Le Guide de... series — Le Guide du Ras-le-bol, a humor album dedicated entirely to the fine art of being fed up. The cover says it all: a thoroughly exasperated figure sits marooned on a tiny island, surrounded by an arsenal of "do not disturb" signs — Laissez-moi tranquille, 'Yen a marre, Barrez-vous, Passez votre chemin — a one-person fortress of solitude against the world. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2003, this is a charming celebration of everyday irritation that anyone who's ever needed a moment's peace will immediately recognize.
