Les Bidochon #12

Binet's beloved slice-of-life series returns with its twelfth volume, and the cover says it all: the perpetually put-upon Bidochon couple are planted on the sofa, eyes glazed and locked onto an unseen television set — she with arms crossed in weary resignation, he grinning with unabashed, vacant delight. Published in 1991 under the Fluide Glacial banner, Les Bidochons Téléspectateurs promises another warmly observed, gently savage portrait of ordinary French domestic life, rendered in Binet's wonderfully expressive, rubbery style.
