Sempé's Konsumgesellschaft #[nn]

This collection brings together a selection of cartoons by French artist Jean-Jacques Sempé, originally published in the 1970s, that humorously critique consumer society and modern urban life. The volume showcases Sempé's signature delicate linework and gentle, observational wit, capturing the absurdities of shopping, leisure, and material desire in postwar Europe. It is a standalone album rather than part of a larger narrative arc, offering a thematic snapshot of the era's social mores through Sempé's distinctive visual storytelling.
