“The Blues”

In "The Blues," Guy Delisle crafts a quietly tense, deeply human story from the everyday chaos of parenting, where a dinner party’s last-minute meat shortage leads to a small, well-intentioned request—ask the kids to skip meat at supper—and a surprising, uncomfortable fallout. With Delisle’s signature observational humor and restrained art, the issue captures the fine line between guidance and control, all drawn in his familiar, expressive style.
