Manu and Mariette have immigrated to the countryside. Manu wants a vegetable garden and Mariette wants a baby. But Manu, who’s celebrating with much jubilation the birth of his very first radish, is having a hard time accepting the notion of parenthood. I mean, imagine having to admit to your child that you don’t know how to change the contact breakers on your car… So Manu hides himself away inside the packing boxes that seem to have become a permanent installment of their new house’s decor. And don’t even start on the neighbor’s penchant for pesticides, and then the poster he’s supposed to design for the annual pig festival…“I could get lost in this stuff all day.” Pipeline Comics
