Honeymoon Safari

Nature, especially in its virgin forest version, is not exactly a bright and welcoming playground. It is at first glance, for the heroes Safari honeymoon city dwellers and their seasoned guide, a teeming lair of hostile creatures and poisonous plants that tourist brochures usually forget to mention: cyclops spiders, giant centipedes, land anemones, telepathic monkeys and other intrusive insects. Even the landscapes crossed by our couple of lovers and their guide are disconcerting, with their spatio-temporal anomalies or their construction worthy of a surveyor MC Escher maniac fan. The adventures that await our characters, between very manly action and hallucinatory sequences, are pretexts to be described in an elegant trichromy green a phantasmagorical nature that will turn out to be much more than a simple decor. To complete this description, or to further confuse the reader in his comic strip as his characters in the forest, Jesse Jacobs interspersed his story with taxonomic boards and silent gags featuring the daily life of the bestiary and mysterious verses recited by a tree poet, open to the free interpretation of the reader. Faced with this confusing environment, each member of the trio of explorer-tourists will react in their own way, evolving towards an acceptance mystical new age trend or on the contrary sticking to his urban positions demanding. Kindergarten, Garden of Eden or monstrous Garden of Delights Boschian, everyone will see nature with new eyes.

Here as in …and you will know the universe and the Gods [http://www.tanibis.net/livres/et-tu-connaitras-l-univers-et-les-dieux], the Jesse Jacobs' previous cosmogonic fable, the universe is neither entirely hostile nor entirely good. Everything is a struggle between opposing principles: Ablavar and Zantek, good and evil, poisonous and edible or even the parasite which is entered through the ear and the one which is entered through the anus.
