On April 14, volume 1 of Clebs!, entitled Pas de chienchien pour sa Mémère, inaugurated the new Soleil POP collection from Éditions Soleil.

A series of gags

Each of the 48 pages of volume 1 of Clebs! consists of one or two gags, all written, illustrated and colored by Olivier Supiot. The reader follows the more or less eventful daily life of a string of dogs with a strong character. In just a few boxes, Olivier Supiot deals with social interactions between dogs, as well as with other breeds, or their relationship to the environment.

Clebs!, a colorful first volume

No dogdog for his grandmother presents to the reader dogs with very marked and very endearing personalities. Olivier Supiot's drawings make these hairballs very lively and expressive. The colors are accentuated and distinguish very defined universes, which makes the reading of Clebs! all the more enjoyable. 

Very human dogs

Through the canine clichés of Clebs!, it is a number of human clichés that the reader finds. Between highlighting endearing defects and sharper criticism, this first volume offers a well-balanced cocktail of entertainment and reflection. The diversity of the gags and the different levels of reading they offer make Clebs! accessible to all, regardless of age. The first grave of Clebs! is a success and brilliantly inaugurates this new edition of Soleil editions.
