Review: hergé, tu peux aller te coucher mais jamais tu rêveras aussi fort que julie doucet.

Rating:
Summary: Just plain gross and weird
Review: I always thought French people were more civilized than Americans, but when I look at something like this I don't know. She carries on about her bodily functions and she doesn't actually say anything insightful about them. It's as if she has reverted to infantilism.

Summary: So disgusting it's kinda endearing
Review: Julie Doucet's collection of earlier work is full of filth, perversion and gore. And yet I can't help thinking how much I like it. Her mostly autobiographical tales have a candor about htem that makes you feel like you're visiting the inside of her brain. Best of all, being French-Canadian, especially in these earlier pieces, her English is not so good and so the dialogue has a stilted sound, which I feel adds to the fun of immersing yourself in her odd world.

Summary: Too Much Information!!
Review: This oldie (the strips are mosty from the 80s) dates from the times when cartoonists were trying to outdo each other in revealing the most intimate and nasty parts of their private lives. I really don't want to know so much about this Candadian woman's sexual fantasies and hygenic practices.
