Carmen Cru

Carmen Cru (2011–present, Audie) is a French comic series centered on its titular elderly protagonist, a sharp-tongued, fiercely independent woman navigating the absurdities of modern life. Published by Audie, the series is most associated with its creator, who brings a warm, lightly cynical humor to Carmen’s daily battles with bureaucracy, family, and the indignities of aging. Though it debuted with a single issue, the series has become a quietly cherished slice-of-life comedy, celebrated for its unvarnished yet affectionate portrayal of old age.
