POW POW PRESS
StockID: 159649 SKU: 0725PW732
A collection of wry and wonderful diary comics that capture modern life in all its cringe-inducing glory! 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.
