La vie est une corvée

A stark, single-issue comic from the French publisher Exemplaire, La vie est une corvée (2023–present) offers a raw, minimalist meditation on the grind of daily existence. Its title translates to "Life is a chore," and the book's sparse, evocative art and quiet narrative capture the weight of routine and exhaustion. This debut issue establishes the series as a poignant, understated work in contemporary European comics, notable for its unflinching look at the mundane.
