Leve Ta Jambe, Mon Poisson Est Mort! features short stories from Julie Doucet's comic book series Dirty Plotte. Andrea Juno sums up Doucet's artwork nicely by saying that it "perfectly complements her stories; her style is both friendly and grotesque, featuring heavily inked, cramped panels. Her comics detail her life as a wandering girl dating, drawing, and drinking.... Her characters are instantly recognizable and drawn with an endearing honesty and compassion." This material is not for those who have fragile images of the feminine.
Review
"Doucet's artwork bursts with a passion for life...the dense, twisting art has a dreamlike innocence that is almost hypnotic." --LA. Weekly
Book Description
Julie Doucet's first book collection, featuring a selection of strips culled from her cult comic book series Dirty Plotte is just as odd as it's title suggests. You'll find it all in here: fatal kisses, early misadventures with tampons, ecstatic lovemaking with giant beer bottles, and a host of other strange and unconventional themes from the unfettered imagination of Ms. Doucet.
