Le Chat

Philippe Geluck's long-running Belgian series Le Chat (1986–present, Casterman) follows the deadpan, philosophical adventures of its titular fat cat, a droll commentator on modern life. Over 25 issues, Geluck's minimalist, expressive art and sharp, absurdist humor have made the strip a beloved fixture of Francophone comics, often compared to the wry observations of The Far Side. The series' enduring popularity stems from its ability to find profound, often hilarious, truths in everyday absurdities, cementing it as a modern classic of European humor comics.
