Stum, Yann Taillefer
In English, softcover, 100 colour pages, 23 x 32 cm, Mansion Press.
A rat with a sad fate finds itself in the hands of a mysterious and expanding company, AG-Corp. Accompanied by her malignant tumor (inoculated by AG-Corp), she soon discovers that the company's economy is based, among other dubious activities, on a recycling system that transforms citizens considered undesirable into construction materials. Together, they'll wreak havoc on AG-Corp's well-oiled machine...
Interspersed with tales that recount the tragicomic adventures of a model employee of A-G Corp, a complex daisy or the hectic life of a match, this silent comic by Yann Taillefer, drawn entirely with a two-color ballpoint pen and reminiscent in certain aspects of Dave Cooper, details the absurdity of a system that feeds on itself. Finally, the principle of recycling.
