Julie Doucet's first book collection, featuring a selection of strips culled from her cult comic book series Dirty Plotte is just as odd as it's title suggests. You'll find it all in here: fatal kisses, early misadventures with tampons, ecstatic lovemaking with giant beer bottles, and a host of other strange and unconventional themes from the unfettered imagination of Ms. Doucet.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Leve Ta Jambe, Mon Poisson Est Mort! features short stories from Julie Doucet's comic book series Dirty Plotte. Andrea Juno sums up Doucet's artwork nicely by saying that it "perfectly complements her stories; her style is both friendly and grotesque, featuring heavily inked, cramped panels. Her comics detail her life as a wandering girl dating, drawing, and drinking.... Her characters are instantly recognizable and drawn with an endearing honesty and compassion." This material is not for those who have fragile images of the feminine.
Review
"Doucet's artwork bursts with a passion for life...the dense, twisting art has a dreamlike innocence that is almost hypnotic." --LA. Weekly

So disgusting it's kinda endearing,
By chris@rashmagazine.com (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lève Ta Jambe Mon, Poisson Est Mort! (Lift Your Leg, My Fish Is Dead!) (Paperback)
Julie Doucet's collection of earlier work is full of filth, perversion and gore. And yet I can't help thinking how much I like it. Her mostly autobiographical tales have a candor about htem that makes you feel like you're visiting the inside of her brain. Best of all, being French-Canadian, especially in these earlier pieces, her English is not so good and so the dialogue has a stilted sound, which I feel adds to the fun of immersing yourself in her odd world.
