Everyday life is already absurd. PAPILA simply draws it. Welcome to a world of impossible jobs, questionable decisions, bureaucracy, money problems, family chaos, strange conversations and characters who somehow manage to make ordinary life even more complicated. More than 170 full-color pages of graphic humor, sharp observations and unexpected punchlines. PAPILA - Volume 1: The Discovery opens the door to a universe of graphic humor where the most ordinary situations can take the most unexpected turn. At first glance, they are simple comic strips: recognizable characters, everyday conversations and familiar problems. But look again. Behind every scene there is a twist, an absurd conclusion or an uncomfortable little truth waiting to appear.
Meet Ben, Rexcartie, Félix, Gloria, Julius and the rest of an eccentric group of characters sharing the same world-and frequently the same problems. Jobs, unemployment, bureaucracy, banks, money, family life, relationships, television, politics, modern society and the small disasters of everyday existence all become material for a very particular kind of humor.
The drawing is direct.
The situations are familiar.
The logic is questionable.
And the punchline rarely arrives where you expect it. This first volume also takes readers behind the scenes of PAPILA, revealing the origins of the series, its characters and the evolution of its distinctive graphic style.
Inside this full-color edition:
You can read one page.
You can read ten.
You can tell yourself you will stop there.
Good luck with that.
