Quotidien délirant #[nn]
This volume collects the complete run of the humorous newspaper-strip series 'Quotidien délirant' by Belgian cartoonist Philippe Bercovici, originally serialized in the daily newspaper Le Soir. The collection gathers the daily gags and comic strips that satirize everyday life, office culture, and modern absurdities through the misadventures of its hapless protagonist. Published by Casterman in 1996, it offers a comprehensive look at Bercovici's sharp, lighthearted commentary on the mundane.
In "Mets un dino dans ta vie," Flora et Ovidio set the picnic table while Arturita’s mother asks him to call his brother—only for Carmelo to burst in, breathless and eager, demanding a mascot. What the wandering vendor then unveils is anything but ordinary. Written by Frank Reichert and Miguelanxo Prado and illustrated entirely by Miguelanxo Prado—pencils, inks, colors, and letters—this 1996 Casterman gem delivers a whimsical, offbeat moment in the series, with a cover by Miguelanxo Prado that captures the scene’s playful absurdity.
In the whimsical chaos of a family picnic, Flora and Ovidio set the table while Arturita’s mother calls for her brother—only for Carmelo to burst in, breathless and eager, demanding a mascot. What the wandering vendor then pulls from his cart is anything but ordinary, turning the afternoon into a delightfully absurd spectacle.
In "Jetée à la rue," Laurita and Ginès step out of the office for a simple chat, but their casual outing quickly spirals into a web of workplace assumptions—every colleague and friend they pass assumes they're a couple, turning a routine moment into a surreal game of misinterpretation.
In "Pas de panique," Jo faces the slow, absurd machinery of bureaucracy in a quiet yet crushing satire of red tape. As he waits endlessly to secure a vital document, the rhythm of office life drags on—each delay a small defeat, each form a new hurdle.
Adolfa sets off on the Camino de Santiago with her family, driven by a promise made to Saint James—if her son gets into university, she’ll walk the pilgrimage. What begins as a hopeful journey through the French countryside soon turns into a series of absurd, satirical misadventures, as the family’s stubbornness, petty squabbles, and misinterpreted signs test their resolve.
