But why can I stay home?
», Asks his parents a disappointed Titeuf.

Zep / Glénat
Far from the city and the schoolyard, Titeuf unraveled with the joys of nature.
Giant anthill, climbing, tedious pitching of a tent, perilous swimming, dry toilets, confiscation of the laptop ... nothing is spared the most urban schoolboy of the ninth art.
“Titeuf is an excellent improviser.
I draw him in front of a giant anthill and he reacts immediately "
Zep
Rich in 64 pages, a format longer than usual, this new album by Titeuf explores themes as varied as ecology, equality between girls and boys, sexuality, new friendships, holiday loves. If Zep changes scenery, Titeuf is nonetheless equal to himself.
Always so curious, the little boy always asks himself as many questions, reflecting his amused and sometimes naive vision of the world.
“
Titeuf is an excellent improviser.
I draw him in front of a giant anthill and he reacts immediately.
I feel like I'm just noting his reactions,
”the author said in a statement.
Between a long story and a series of gags, the book, exhibiting a crisp new gallery of characters, plunges the reader with the schoolboy humor inherent in the series, the reader in the throes of emancipation, stormy relationships with new friends and disappointment in love.
Without forgetting the grueling exploration of nature, full of inconveniences for our little city dweller with the yellow puff.
Be that as it may, Titeuf emerges from this “
great adventure
” which he describes as “
brilliant
”, always to the delight of his aficionados.
A breath of fresh air, far from being luxury at the moment ...
