La vie de Norman

Norman’s life is a wonderfully weird journey through the mundane and the absurd, as this French series from Makaka Éditions follows its unlikely hero through five issues of offbeat humor and surreal situations. Running from 2011 to 2013, the comic is best known for the distinctive, deadpan storytelling of its creator, who turns everyday frustrations into quiet, laugh-out-loud adventures. A cult gem of European small-press comics, La vie de Norman captures the charm of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
