Tête de mule

A single, self-contained comic from Swiss publisher La Joie de Lire, Tête de mule (2016–present) is the work of Norwegian creator Øyvind Torseter, who both writes and draws this quietly surreal, wordless story. Following a stubborn, donkey-headed character through a strange and tactile world, the book uses intricate, pencil-shaded art to explore themes of persistence and miscommunication. It stands as a distinctive, minimalist entry in contemporary European comics, showcasing Torseter’s talent for visual storytelling without a single line of dialogue.
