My e-girlfriend

A five-issue miniseries from French publisher Soleil, My e-girlfriend (2010–2012) explores the surreal and often awkward intersection of online romance and real-world identity. The story follows a young man whose virtual girlfriend suddenly manifests in the physical world, forcing him to confront the gap between digital fantasy and messy reality. This series is best known for the work of writer Olivier Peru and artist Stéphane Collignon, whose clean, expressive style grounds the high-concept premise in relatable human comedy. It stands as a clever, era-specific meditation on early 2010s internet culture and the strange new forms of connection it enabled.
