About the series
Guy Delisle, known for his travelogues, turns his deadpan observational eye inward for this autobiographical comic series from Delcourt, running from 2013 to the present across four issues. Le guide du mauvais père chronicles the everyday absurdities and quiet humiliations of fatherhood, rendered in Delisle's signature clean, expressive linework. It matters as a warm, self-deprecating counterpoint to idealized parenting narratives, finding universal humor in the specific awkwardness of being a dad.
