Barbecue

In Barbecue (2015–present, L'employé du Moi), a single-issue comic from the French small-press scene, the everyday ritual of grilling becomes a quiet, contemplative study of community and solitude. Known for its minimalist linework and spare storytelling, the series distills a summer afternoon into a few resonant moments. It matters as a precise, atmospheric example of how the European alt-comics tradition can find profound meaning in the simplest of human activities.
