Alles wird komplizierter

In the late 1980s, Swiss publisher Diogenes Verlag brought together a single, standalone issue of gentle, observational humor from the beloved French artist Sempé. Alles wird komplizierter (Everything Gets More Complicated) captures his signature, lightly melancholic view of everyday life through a series of wordless or sparsely captioned panels. Though a brief entry in his bibliography, it stands as a pure, concentrated example of Sempé's timeless ability to find both absurdity and warmth in the small complications of modern existence.
