About the series
Binet's long-running French series for Audie, Les Bidochon, has been skewering the absurdities of modern life since 1980 through the hapless, perpetually put-upon couple Robert and Raymonde Bidochon. Across 22 albums, Binet's sharp, single-handed writing and art turns their petty grievances and failed ambitions into a wry, enduring satire of the French middle class. It's a landmark of European comic humor, beloved for its unflinching yet affectionate portrait of everyday mediocrity.
