Portrait of a Drunk (2020)

by Olivier Schrauwen, Jérôme Mulot. Guy is no master mariner, with a clipped red (or black) beard.

Three contemporary comics titans, Belgian Olivier Schrauwen (Parallel Lives) and the French duo Ruppert and Mulot (The Perineum Technique) collaborate to bring you the best pictorial and narrative elements of the great tales of the sea — bright colors, grand battles, gallows humor — in this tour de force of black comedy.
