Under the house

The path to inner awakening is long and delicate. Unless one finds a shortcut in his basement, via a magic washing machine… That's what happens to Daisy, a young teenager who has just arrived at her high school and who has trouble making friends. A higher dimension, full of vibrations strange and bizarre sensations, usually hidden and only accessible to enlightened minds, becomes its sacred playground. But, the purity and innocence being temporary, this Garden of Eden will quickly be invaded and desecrated by others, less sensitive to its fragility. In 96 pages, Jesse Jacobs tells us this new-age fable of paradise lost and of not quite innocent children with a falsely naive drawing and a explosive approach to colors, opposing the monochrome of reality suburban experience suffered by the characters with the acidulous palette of the artificial world in which they take refuge. As in his other works published by Tanibis, the purely narrative pages are interspersed with sequences phantasmagorical in which Jacobs, mixing geometric regularity and psychedelic imagination, shows creatures and sensations unspeakable things that populate this secret space. Under the House, originally published in Canada by Koyama Press, is the third graphic novel by Jesse Jacobs.
