All tables they have their place in the Louvre? This is the philosophical question "The dog squinting," the new graphic novel holds Davodeau. After crossing the worlds of comics and vines in the BD-documentary "Ignorant" Davodeau returns to fiction and sign a very funny story about a Louvre guard who is under pressure from his future in-laws for ensure quune horrible dog representing crust dipper finds himself clinging to one of the walls of the famous Parisian museum. The guard, this is Fabien. He is proud of his job, that he carries with pleasure even sil is tired of having to give dozens of times per day that the Mona Lisa is located. He also wondered why the Winged Victory is photographed every day thousands of times, so what is already represented "millions of times in thousands of books in the world." Despite this, it is its business (and its Louvre) more than anything, and does not support when his girlfriend Mathilde dares to mock his role as museum guard. It must be said that Matilda comes of a family where the only job that really matters, this is the furniture manufacturer. This is what when Matilda discovers Fabien lamène near to present the dangers to his family, the clan Benion, consisting of Louis father, two brothers Maxime and Joseph, to fairly subtle humor, and finally the grandfather a bit senile but very sentimental. When Benion learn that Fabien works in the Louvre, they show him laffreux painting by Gustave Benion their grandfather in the nineteenth century and heavily insist that it should ensure that the famous "Dog fishy" has a place on the walls of the Louvre . That would so please the grandfather! Not a chance, says Fabien, unaware that the mysterious "Republic of the Louvre" will come give him an unexpected helping hand. The success of the highly original scenario imagined by Etienne Davodeau based largely on colorful characters and sometimes a little bizarre. But the most interesting character of "Dog louche" is undoubtedly the Louvre itself, whose works are beautifully represented by the author and play an essential role in his story. One imagines that dailleurs Davodeau had to spend long hours at the Louvre and that he has probably drawn a few planks of the album within the museum. After completion of BD, we didnt dailleurs quune one desire: to go to the Louvre to admire the beautiful sculptures and paintings that he is home, and the collection of antique furniture, against which even the brothers were speechless Benion of admiration. Note that "The dog that fishy" is co-published by Futuropolis and Louvre editions. If their goal was to promote the museum, this is it!
