The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 2136: La parthenogeneige, January 2001

 A weird little Winter tale about the difficulty of being alone. It seems quite appropriate these days. A man makes a child out of snow and spends the rest of the comic trying to make it so that the child will stop melting. There are no words, only pictures, and a wonderfully simple art style. I've had this comic in the collection for many years now, and I read it every now and again. I'm amazed that such a short piece with, relatively, such sparse content can invite so many re-readings. I suppose that's the mark of a really well done comic.

More to follow.
