Book Review: The World According to Sempé

[maygaess]

Hi,

this is my first attempt at reviewing a book, so please forgive my amateurish skills.

This is not a typical comics book, this is a collection of Jean-Jacques Sempé's work. He is a french cartoonist who worked for the New Yorker.

wikipedia describes Sempé's work as "quite striking, but retain a sentimental and often a somewhat gentle edge to them, even if the topic is a difficult one to approach."
