De la ductilité du sbrinz

Ibn Al Rabin is often classified as a "minimalist" designer, but he is nevertheless a lover of "maximalist" projects, as evidenced by his bibliography: a 1100-page book in dictionary format? Done. A adaptation of the best of the Bible to felt-tip pens? Also. Four hundred strips drawn for almost ten years? Well, that's exactly what collects "On the ductility of sbrinz", namely the entirety of the strips produced weekly for the independent newspaper Le Courrier. We come across Bob & Mitch, really bad contemporary artists, Clotilde, clumsy dancer but applied, Raymond, alcoholic cultural columnist, Amande & Béa, questionable gallery owners, Mildred, queen of abstruse stand-up, and yet another multitude of characters appearing in intertwined stories and take us into micro-sagas where the wacky and the absurd reign. It is of course very funny, often surprising and always inventive. And then he there is the sbrinz.
