"Why do harm when it is so easy to do good?"

This is thanks to its reissue with a new cover that I discovered this comic. In the early 30s, there reigns a jovial and warm atmosphere deadlocked Baby to Whiskers and nicknamed because of advertising somewhat embellished by a rascal the corner. Camille, the daughter of simplistic train driver nicknamed Papa Chu-Chu, gives birth to a child of an unknown father - a small stillborn daughter she wanted to call Lydia. Her grief is immense. But two months later, she radiant announces that God has made him her baby. And because she has never been happier, all the inhabitants of the impasse will enter his play, petting the imaginary child and making it a place in their lives over the years ...

"Why do harm when it is so easy to do good?" This question epitomizes the deep humanity that emerges from this story. With soft and tender colors, faces full of character and bonhomie, Jordi Lafebre puts into images the moving story of his sidekick Zidrou. Their combined talents oscillate between the reader laugh and tears up a denouement alas somewhat expeditious, which cuts short the new direction taken in the final pages. Despite this small regret, I highly recommend "Lydia," a comic that is heartwarming we'd like to play more often. And although it is a bit more expensive, I advise you to opt for the new enhanced version of a supplement of 8 pages that reveals the identity of the father of Lydia (or so I did not understand!) .
