Surimi - Une vie de crabe

In this short but vivid three-issue series from Casterman (2000–2002), the life of a crab named Surimi unfolds with a mix of absurdist humor and existential melancholy. The series explores the mundane and surreal experiences of its crustacean protagonist, blending slice-of-life moments with a distinctly French comic sensibility. While the creator(s) are not widely known outside of European comics circles, Surimi stands as a quirky, understated gem of early-2000s Franco-Belgian cartooning—a quiet meditation on identity and routine told through the eyes of a creature often overlooked.
