Title : Les Bidochon, volume 5 - Intimate gossip - Binet - comic book
Summary :
He's Robert. He's easily recognizable: beret, suspenders, belly. She's Raymonde, his wife. Together, they form a depressing couple: the Bidochons. Depressing, but furiously funny. Ever since Binet, one of the authors of the humor magazine Fluide glacial , began chronicling their daily marital life in his comics, they've experienced all the experiences of the average contemporary Frenchman. These include, among other things, low-rent housing, home ownership, package holidays, and the sacrosanct TV. This time, they're getting into cell phones. And, as usual, it's hilarious all the way. You should have seen Robert explain to Raymonde, who is vaguely reluctant to modernity, that the only thing that matters with a cell phone isn't making calls: it's using up the phone plan... Are the Bidochons caricatures? Of course, of course. But still, when you think about it, the reader ends up wondering if there aren't, on certain days, something of the Bidochons in him... --Gilbert Jacques
They form a disillusioned couple who no longer expect anything, or almost nothing, from their life together: - Robert: "Raymonde is like an anvil! Wherever she is, there she stays!" - Raymonde: "On Sunday mornings, Robert goes to get bread in his jogging suit... 200 meters by car to the bakery. Jogging suits plus gas, that's an expensive baguette!" In eight stories, from "A Year Already" to "The Sunday Evening Movie," introduced by eight pages never published in Fluide Glacial, BINET tenderly tells us about the mediocrity of his characters, their suppressed desires, their failed existence, while still managing to make us laugh on every page. A masterpiece of sad humor.
