Mit vorzüglicher Hochachtung

Jean-Jacques Sempé’s Mit vorzüglicher Hochachtung is a single-issue comic from Diogenes Verlag, originally released in 2008 and still in print. Known for his gentle, whimsical linework and wry observations of everyday life, Sempé here collects a series of single-panel cartoons that explore the subtle absurdities of polite correspondence and social ritual. This slender volume stands as a charming, characteristically understated addition to the beloved French cartoonist’s body of work, offering a quiet meditation on the formalities that both connect and distance us.
