It is first a beautiful object, thick, hardback in slightly embossed with hollow this little guy, Alphonse stool, inside a beautiful paper and a new form, neither completely BD nor completely album is perhaps a little graphic novel, but no matter, we must delve into history. Again, this is surprising, original, confusing, poetic, funny, with several levels depending on whether one is a child or adult. Alphonse stool is a little guy who wakes up in the middle of a forest, and is left alone, forsaken by the great man who created it. Therefore Alphonse goes to meet other characters, seeks to fill a gap, the TGV, the Too Big Empty. He met a lot of strange characters, bizarre, the funny names, one of which has a large hole in the middle of the belly, and easy to complete. And even when he meets the love, nothing is gained for breakfast Alphonse. Many neologisms, puns, for a light humor, a drawing and often dreamlike reflections. You have to go with this set unusual, read, reread, because there is always a detail that has escaped you at the first reading. Daring in form and writing, but full of fantasy and magic! A true tale of initiation.
