The Bus

Paul Kirchner's The Bus is a wordless, surreal comic strip series from Éditions Tanibis, ongoing since 2012. Each page follows a lone commuter's mundane bus ride through a city that warps into a dreamlike, often absurd landscape, where everyday objects and spaces defy logic. Kirchner's meticulous, detailed linework grounds these bizarre transformations in a calm, deadpan style, making the series a quiet, masterful exploration of the surreal hidden within the ordinary. With only two issues so far, it stands as a distinctive, meditative work from a cult cartoonist known for his singular vision.
