Le Chat

Philippe Geluck’s Le Chat is a long-running Belgian comic strip series from Casterman, launched in 1997 and still ongoing, that follows the deadpan, philosophical adventures of a large, anthropomorphic cat. Over its four-issue run, the strip has become a beloved fixture of French-language humor, known for its gentle absurdity and wry observations on modern life. Geluck’s distinctive, minimalist art and the title character’s iconic, unflappable expression make Le Chat a quietly essential work of European comic satire.
