Les poches pleines de pluie #[nn]

A beach setting gets delightfully strange on this 2009 Carabas release, where Jason's distinctive minimalist linework places a green alien in a floral shirt — briefcase and pistol in hand — alongside a pale, bird-beaked figure serenely playing the cello in the sand, a palm tree swaying overhead. The deadpan absurdity of that pairing says everything about Jason's singular vision, blending the mundane and the surreal with effortless cool. Les Poches Pleines de Pluie et autres histoires is a treat for anyone who appreciates comics that find quiet comedy in the utterly unexpected.
