Elmer

A quietly surreal meditation on identity and transformation, Elmer (2010–present) from the French publisher çà et là follows a man who awakens one day to find he has become a giant elephant—a literal, physical change that leaves him isolated and grappling with his new reality. The series, which began with a single issue, is the work of a singular European cartoonist known for blending deadpan humor with existential melancholy. Though brief in its publication history, Elmer stands as a striking, hauntingly spare fable about otherness and the absurdity of the self.
