Les Psy #18

Volume 18 of the beloved Belgian humor series Les Psy arrives with a wonderfully absurd cover: a disheveled psychiatrist, clipboard in hand, looks on with mild exasperation as his patient lounges cheerfully in a bubble bath — rubber duck and all — declaring "Tout baigne!" ("Everything's great!"). The bright chartreuse-and-magenta palette and the gap between doctor's concern and patient's bliss perfectly capture the comic series' warm, gently satirical take on the therapy relationship. Created by Bédu and Cauvin, this 2011 Dupuis installment promises another round of the witty, lighthearted humor that has made Les Psy a staple of Franco-Belgian comics.
