Vie de merde

A raw, autobiographical comic series from French publisher Editions Jungle, Vie de merde ran for 21 issues between 2010 and 2016, chronicling the everyday frustrations, awkward moments, and darkly comic misfortunes of its creator's life. Translating roughly to "Shitty Life," the series captures the universal absurdity of petty annoyances and minor humiliations with a wry, self-deprecating tone. Its matter-of-fact storytelling and relatable, slice-of-life misery made it a cult favorite among readers who found catharsis in seeing their own worst days laid out on the page.
