Synopsis
Mr. Jean is a laconic, single male Parisian struggling through the usual calamities of life: bachelorhood in his twenties and early thirties and the impending responsibilities of marriage, kids, and deadlines for his publisher.
Notes
Excerpts from Get a Life: The Collected Monsieur Jean Short (ISBN: 1896597793, Hardcover, 144pp, June 2006, Drawn & Quarterly); and Maybe Later (ISBN: 1896597211, Hardcover, 120pp, June 2006, Drawn & Quarterly). Both artists are listed as creators. One interior story (Monsieur Jean: Women and Children First) has the artists discussing creative aspects of a particular strip and Phillipe is telling Charles he's in the process of inking a page, which lends me to assume Charles Berberian is the artist and Phillipe Dupuy the inker (respectfully). However, there is no indication which of these cartoonists is responsible for art and inks. Further research on these cartoonists did not provide any answers.
