Wrestler Guys In Thongs

game I will not die of Alfred

A Village 'rustic' rough characters that are reminiscent of those Poor Zhéros.

Two competing camps have always been those of the castle and those of the sawmill. A massacre

rifle on the wedding day of Fredo.

Pan! Eighteen victims.

I will not die game is the confession of a teenager. Throughout the pages, he explains his act, his reasons. Difficult not to understand his bloody buggery shot when we talk about the middle ( I dunno, I always heard that was a maker of art fag ... ) and his friendship with Terence, an ageless man with severe learning difficulties, we have labeled 'village idiot' in another time .

A powerful story that moves and upsets at the same time, adapted from the novel by William Guéraud.

Believe me, Alfred was quite a stroke of a pen and without compromise!

BD spotted in Imaginelf and re-observed in Mo 'Fairy .

Best Way To Mastrabte A Man

The incorrigible optimists club Jean-Michel Guenassia

The title of this long novel, The Club incorrigible optimists , foreshadowed a story funny, mischievous and perhaps even a bit romantic.

Nay.

We are in 1959, Europe licking its wounds, the Algerian people scold.

Michel, a student at the Lycee Henri IV in Paris, Balto s'accoquine regularly to play table football and listening to music. In the back room coffee has organized a chess club whose members are all political refugees from mainly East European countries ...

Small worries Michel, intellectually precocious teenager but completely asexual, not me little passionate. As
to his family, his friends are characters unconvincing, lacking depth. And there

will not mince words: the female figures in this novel are completely missed. It feels no affection for these women (they are mother, sister, friend or girlfriend) who are here stereotyped and unsympathetic. Compared to

Leonid destiny, Werner, Igor, Sasha, Pavel Tibor or who occasionally interspersed, Michel's life is bland, his narrative superfluous.

Because it is their stories that had my attention. Their lives in the East, their passage to the West.

read A novel four-eyes with Canel
, without whom this reading would frankly lacked salt.

Salon Letter To New Clients

A Maigret by Georges Simenon

One day we were talking about interrogations at the notorious song and non-traditional third degree interrogation of the American police, Maigret said that suspects who are most likely to get away are fools. Fell into the ear of a journalist, the joke had become an echo as the press periodically reproduced with variations.

What he had wanted to express, in reality, what he thought again, it is frustrating being a naturally suspicious, always on the defensive, he responds with a minimum of words, without regardless of likelihood, and then, if you put it at odds with himself, he does not let unmount and adheres strongly to the statement.


Instead, intelligent man feels the need to explain himself, doubts in the minds of his interlocutor. Trying to convince, it goes to matters contained therein, providing too many details and in its determination to build a coherent system, eventually give rise.


So his logic into default, it is rare that he does not trouble and, ashamed of himself, he prefers to admit.

particularly memorable passage of this psychological thriller in which Maigret will for once not the last word ...

To learn more about the author of Maigret Has , I recommend the excellent site Tout Simenon.

What Does The 2 And Pokeball Mean

Poor zhéros Baru and Pierre Pelot


Poor zhéros . The title sums up this story adapted from the novel by Pierre Pelot the same name.

When her boyfriend arrived in a van, Sylvette abandoned some time (the time, presumably, a thin part of legs in the air) the children she supervises. Upon her return, she realizes that Joel, a boy with Down syndrome, is missing.

A village well franchouille with an abnormally high level of stupidity, bad faith, dishonesty and drunks. In

rear
è re-plan, a scandal in the making, one of the hospice and orphanage where he seems to happen to funny things ...

From dark, the very sordid - you are warned!

It Mo 'Fairy who had given me want to read this comic. His post is here .

Funny Things To Say And 17 Birthday

In my eyes Bastien Vives


In my eyes BD is a poignant and very original.

At the university library, a boy meets a young madcap and it is only through his eyes him that we will see their relationship evolve.

Drawn in colored pencil, this album is a marvel of sweetness, tenderness and naivete
(and do not rely primarily on the cover).

I'm not the only one to think a lot of good.

Bagieu Penelope speaks very well here.

Mo 'Fairy had also been seduced by the previous album Bastien Vives: The taste of chlorine.

I leave you with interview with this talented writer with 26 years explaining great simplicity of the genesis In my eyes .

Diaper Rash On Butt With Blisters

Maigret and the Headless Corpse by Georges Simenon

A body scattered in small pieces, so the puzzle, in the Canal Saint-Martin. A headless body that Maigret identify good funny way.

Looking for a discreet place to call the Commissioner and his young assistant, Inspector Lapointe, entering the dark coffee Quai de Valmy. Behind the counter, slippers, stands the bewildering Ms. Galas ...


She drank. He would have sworn she was never drunk, never lost control of herself. Like real drunks, those for which the medicine can do nothing, she knew her position and kept in her home, a determined state, this kind of indifference that somnambulesque puzzled at first sight. Written

United States in 1955, Maigret and the Headless Corpse is probably one of my favorite Maigret.


It contains all the ingredients that make for me the big Maigret: Paris cinégénique post-war and the psychological depth of the characters.

I am a fan, an obsessed, that the days of tiredness, weeks of 'I'm not sure what to read', fits into this series as in a soft bed.

And I always find the same pleasure with Dr. Pardon, sandwiches and beer from the Brasserie Dauphine, the apartment on the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, furniture, janitorial, January, Lucas, Torrence Wholesale Madame Maigret and her husband Teddy.

My Doctor Rectal Exam

theory of contortion Margaux Motin

theory contortion BD is a very 'girly trendy' which reads quickly, without displeasure.

Even though I have not always adhered to the texts, drawings Margaux Motin are no less brilliant, totally modern and hyper vitamin.

No real theme in this album but a mess of skits that can also partly recover on his blog .

I loved being ethnologist remains in my LAL in anticipation of a day of great depression, a snowy morning, a long winter evening, I still know that ...

Soukee is much more excited than me, his post is here .

Flea Eggs On Dogs Stomach

Exquisite Corpse Penelope Bagieu


Exquisite Corpse history is so cute, a young girl in search of adventures stuck between a job of hostess unsatisfactory and a boyfriend vulgar.

During his lunch break, Zoe notices a man who himself has no desire to get noticed. Intrigued by his behavior, she comes to his door ...

Once again, I do not hide my delight. I had a great time relaxing with this comic whose end is quite unexpected. Casually, it is also a tart critic of the publishing world, I say no more, for you to discover.

If you do not know Penelope Bagieu, I also recommend Josephine more girly, but equally enjoyable.

Phase Shift In The Refracted Ray

Tales of a Medical Examiner Michael Sapanet

It highlights two things Tales of a Medical Examiner :

- The Poitou is a region where it is good live.
- Forensic medicine is not nearly as glamorous as the television series would have us believe.

We discover that this particular specialty is not limited only to bodies but also covers expertise from accidents, assaults, medical malpractice or abuse.

An easy book to read, punctuated with humor, which goes down within hours.

passages comparing autopsy hunting and the pleasures of the table (including Dr. Sapanet dotes) are, however unsavory - you are warned! - But shows how essential it is to build a solid shell to succeed in this crazy profession.
