I agree with Mare -- SO GOOD! His style reminds me of Joann Sfarr's. Again, SO GOOD!

When I first read Gus ~15 years ago I thought it was one of the most amazing graphic novels I’ve ever read. Revisiting it, I’m reminded why it’s actually my absolute favorite. An on-the-face funny book about a gang of outlaws, the story deepens and deepens to convey the stark fact that love, sex and desire lay at the very root of what drives all men and women around the world. Finishing it, I’m filled with an indescribable angst at the pit of my stomach, as I’ve just relived (through the characters) some of the most wonderful as well as painful moments I’ve ever gone through. Hilarious, and amazingly well drawn, it’s a book for anyone who has deeply felt love, loss or longing in their life.

I don't know if it's the French humor or the heavy use of sexual references, but man this just felt off putting. Not for me.
