Les Pauvres aventures de Jérémie #3

From Dargaud's Poisson Pilote imprint comes the third volume of Riad Sattouf's endearing série, "Le rêve de Jérémie." The cover, drawn and inked by Sattouf, sets a wintry scene where a wide-eyed, red-scarfed Jérémie takes a snowball square to the face in the foreground, while a laughing figure winds up for another throw against a backdrop of snow-dusted trees and a warm stone house. It's a perfectly comic snapshot of childhood misadventure that makes this 2005 album an inviting read for fans of Sattouf's gentle, sharp-edged humor.
