PASTIMES GN
Social worker in a hospital by day, internationally-acclaimed cartoonist by night, Pascal Girard (Petty Theft) seems to be a magnet for awkward situations. Why can't he manage to walk his dog, hit the gym, or even push a shopping cart down the grocery aisle without having yet another weird encounter? Or, just maybe, is he the one who provokes them? Even with those closest to him, Pascal has a knack for getting into trouble, especially when his young daughter Lucie starts to ask him profound questions about life, death, and the universe that he doesn't quite know how to answer. From encounters with would-be swingers at the dog park to ferocious felines at the local cat cafe, in these short, snappy comic strips Pascal Girard delivers snippets inspired by his daily life, with a bittersweet humor that's sometimes mocking, sometimes tender, but always deeply observant. Pastimes is a funny and surprisingly moving portrait of passing time in the modern world, one comic at a time. (STL381040) (C: 0-1-2)
