Julie Doucet and her boyfriend find a new apartment with cheap rent and a string of nutty neighbors. One ex-con “breaks out” of his apartment by smashing his own window. Another man attempts to kill himself by stuffing his head in a gas oven. But perhaps the oddest person of all is the landlady herself, Madame Paul, who one day mysteriously disappears...

Review Summary: julie doucet is the shizznittlebomb
Date: 2007-01-17
Details: I began exploring comics and graphic novels a little over a year ago, during the course of which Doucet popped up and since has become one of my favorite artists. It's a real shame she's stopped drawing. I would describe her style as personal, absurdist, detached, and sometimes nicely grotesque. Madame Paul is a little stabler than some of her other work but still fabulous. She's great. If you like this but are itching for something a little stranger, I recommend checking out Leve Ta Jambe, Mon Poisson Est Mort!
