Le monde merveilleux des vieux #[nn]

Laetitia Coryn's Le monde merveilleux des vieux invites readers into a warmly comic look at senior life, with the cover setting the tone perfectly: an elderly couple sharing a gleeful, gap-toothed grin from the comfort of their bed, rendered in Coryn's wonderfully exaggerated cartoon style. The hot-pink floral backdrop and their matching mischievous expressions promise humor that's affectionate rather than mean-spirited. Published by Vent des Savanes in 2007, this is lighthearted French-language comics at its most charming.
