La Mer à boire

La Mer à boire – Crossing Brussels-City with a hesitant step, ignoring the advice of a wise old man, B looks for A. Garçonne, coming in a carriage, deaf to the warnings of a fellow traveler, A seeks B. At the Metropolis Hotel, A would hide under the sweet name of Incartade. B, chained to a post, captured by movie Indians, can only watch her escape to the horizon. Their quest continues until they find each other, abandoning themselves together in deep intimacy, paving the way for an intense, absolute love.

In these sumptuously realized pages, in a direct coloring with ink, a couple seeks itself, forms itself and seeks to give shape to itself.

After La volupté, or C’était le bonheur, Blutch celebrates the amorous encounter, in a romance crossed by a feeling of urgency, lived on a breathless rhythm.
