Sempé's Radfahrer

Jean-Jacques Sempé, the beloved New Yorker cartoonist, created this gentle, wordless comic strip collection for Diogenes Verlag, first published in 1985. The single volume follows the misadventures of a hapless cyclist navigating the absurdities of everyday life, rendered in Sempé's signature, lightly melancholic ink line. Though brief in its run, it stands as a charming, standalone example of the artist's quiet, observational humor.
