Funny Coconut Ted - Ted drags his tall, lanky frame through the
city in a routine as regular as it is energetic; metro-work-sleep,
certainly, but with an energy and an uncommon rigor. Then one day, the
The mechanics seize up and everything goes crazy, on this day when the metro is under construction and when
things are not, anymore, as usual. And then, everything goes wrong… \n \nEmilie
Gleason drew heavily on the experiences of her brother, who was diagnosed with Asperger's,
to tell the very strange days of Ted – meeting, discussion, love,

\nBut while the "comic strip of reality" has produced so many soothing works
existing only through their subject, Emilie Gleason, she, transcends her subject to
deliver a moment of high-energy reading, carried out at a hundred miles an hour, full

Ted is a real immersion in a spirit that is not really common, and offers
the arrival of a rare reading experience, a whirlwind of colors and
of energy, like its main character. \n \nFIBD Revelation Award
