Pattes d'éph & col roulé #[nn]

Fred Neidhardt's Pattes d'éph & col roulé from Delcourt's Shampooing imprint wears its nostalgic heart right on its cover: a loosely sketched kid with a pig-like snout shares the page with a charming strip of retro toys — a plush orange creature, a one-eyed doll, a red action figure, a colorful spinning top, and a sturdy robot straight out of 1970s daydreams. The hand-drawn, notebook-paper aesthetic signals something personal and playful, the kind of story rooted in childhood wonder and the objects that defined a generation. Published in 2008, this is a warm invitation into a world of scrappy linework and fond, toy-box memories.
