Tas de pauvres #[nn]

Published by Denoël in 2000, Tas de pauvres showcases the sharp, irreverent cartooning of Tignous at his most playful. The cover features a gangly, disheveled figure in a billowing teal coat and mismatched clothes, striking a hilariously awkward pose over a sidewalk grate — all loose limbs and comic desperation. It's an instantly warm and witty invitation to the kind of social satire that made Tignous one of French comics' most distinctive voices.
