Didier Tronchet in the midst of an ecological crisis at Fnac Wilson, in Toulouse
Didier Tronchet will be at Fnac Wilson, in Toulouse, Thursday, October 28, for a meeting-dedication around his album “Les catastrophobes”. Or how to talk about ecological issues without losing humor.
Old man of the comic strip, Didier Tronchet is notably the author of the unspeakable sagas of Raymond Calbuth, Raoul Fulgurex and Jean-Claude Tergal. With “Les catastrophobes”, which the author will come to present at Fnac Wilson, in Toulouse, today Thursday, the author remains in the register of rock’n’roll humor by instilling a good dose of political awareness. . In this album, Didier Tronchet recounts the daily life of a couple in the midst of an ecological crisis. Madame is deeply concerned with environmental issues and tries to answer them as best she can. Monsieur is more of the type to reason in his sofa between TV series and piles of books to devour. So that the small family is perfectly representative, two children are part of the cast. Picking up page after page of all the anxieties of the moment about our rather inevitably rotten future, Didier Tronchet explains what he should do to save the planet (and this is radical) and what few people agree to question. Man is ready to cultivate his garden (literally) but on condition that he can plant “pizzas, paninis, kebabs”. He would consider exile in the countryside, “but no question of getting pissed off seriously in stupid caves”. Or to poop in nature without even having toilet paper. For him, “the great collapse” is especially when bobonne has not prepared dinner. Before it all burns down, it’s so good to laugh …
