A title not forgotten, not discarded, simply overlooked. The Pizzlys are catching up and we can only be happy about it, because this title by Jérémie Moreau is pure happiness. Perhaps confused at the beginning by the colors, by the flashy rosé that dominates, we are then taken incessantly by the story, by the drawing, by the extraordinary and so beautiful story of Moreau whose The Grimr Saga was Fauve d’Or award for best album in Angoulême in 2018. Without forgetting a debut in fanfare with the unforgettable Singe de Hartlepool Prix Canal BD 2013. Moreau is ever-evolving, creative, courageous and intuitive. His Pizzlies are also a realistic yet enchanting story with characters full of love and hope in an unraveling world.
Paris night and day at the wheel of an Uber, the driver Nathan relies on his GPS, he doesn’t know where he’s going, he dreams among the stars. He has been working since the death of his parents to raise his sister and younger brother, to pay for his studies. Nothing for him. When he takes Annie to Roissy where he sets off to find his native Alaska forgotten for 40 years, little does he know that her fate and that of her family will change. Accident, car wreck, plus a dime and debts. Annie offers to leave with her, including her sister and brother. It’s not easy to convince them, but it’s a last chance to erase everything and start over. Except that Annie’s house is lost far from everything in the snow and for three Parisians it’s the end of the world.
Visions worthy of Little Nemo, the return to the sources for Annie who will reconnect with her people, little by little the initiations of her children, friendship and love rediscovered but with heavy difficulties, Moreau’s narration is strong, clear, she avoids nothing. His landscapes and colors are sublime. Life above all and this famous mysterious Pizzly. Initiatory research and suffering nature, Jeremiah Moreau he deserves many compliments for his great talent.
