Description

World Record Holders is a humorous and insightful retrospective collection from celebrated cartoonist Guy Delisle. This career-spanning collection showcases his work with a sly sense of humor and warm characterization, offering a unique glimpse into the evolution of his style. From wistful childhood nostalgia to chagrined post-fame encounters, Delisle's comics touch on formally ambitious visual puns and gut-busting what-ifs. He explores how life is both exhilarating and embarrassing, often with unexpected results. This collection features a range of humorous set pieces, including an exhibition of his work in another country and a juvenile game that takes a surprising turn. Translated by Helge Dascher and Rob Aspinall, World Record Holders offers a fresh perspective on the comics form and Delisle's distinctive voice.
