Le Chat is back in bookstores on Wednesday.
Philippe Geluck publishes the 23rd album of the series, half of the drawings of which are unpublished.
Inspired by the health crisis, the author is not limited to it, however, and makes Le Chat ramble on topics as diverse as usual.
The Cat is back in bookstores.
Philippe Geluck publishes a 23rd album on Wednesday, entitled
Le Chat est
chez
nous
, in partnership with Europe 1. A book that the author imagined and designed in his studio in Brussels during the confinement.
The first drawing also refers to the health crisis.
We see Zorro, wearing his famous black mask over his eyes, explaining: "Do like me, wear a mask."
Beside him, Le Chat replies: "He did well to choose a vigilante rather than a Nobel Prize in medicine."
"I need to make people laugh, to appease"
But very quickly, as in every Geluck comic, Le Chat wanders.
The designer did not want a monothematic book, solely focused on the crisis.
"I told myself that at one point, all the assholes I know were going to hasten to do it", he smiles at the microphone of Europe 1. The timing is however calculated.
"I need to make people laugh, to appease."

As usual, the Cat's witticisms therefore evoke various and varied themes.
The cravat feline jokes on the exercise bikes and wanders about the sinking Titanic.
"If you think about it, the Titanic was a submarine longer than a liner," he remarks.
Half of the drawings published on Wednesday are unpublished.
