About the series
In this brief, two-issue series from Glénat (2008–2009), the acclaimed French cartoonist Lewis Trondheim crafts a surreal, dialogue-driven comedy set in a peculiar bar where the patrons are microscopic mites. The premise is characteristically inventive: a mundane location becomes a stage for absurd, philosophical banter among tiny creatures, rendered in Trondheim’s signature loose, expressive linework. Though short-lived, Le Bar des Acariens showcases the playful, experimental spirit of late-2000s Franco-Belgian comics, offering a concentrated dose of humor and weirdness from a master of the medium.
