Our habits have been called into question since this health crisis that has been raging for several months. "Comme une bête" attacks our eating habits by playing the card of derision. A work created by Cédric Taling, which will be released on June 18 by Rue de l'échiquier.
How I became a vegetarian: or how to question myself with humor
The synopsis is enticing. We follow Richard, an actor in his forties who lives in the Paris region. He has a relationship that could be described as paternal with his 13-year-old goddaughter Camille. He discovers that she is a vegetarian during a recreational moment. This change in his goddaughter will lead him to question his lifestyle. Yes, it is not easy to question oneself after several decades of automatisms. The excerpt that we have been able to discover is indicative of this intense struggle that the main protagonist will have to fight to remain faithful to his new resolutions. One of the main assets of this story will probably be this new bond he will have with Camille, who becomes a "mentor" for him. The clash of generations with very different visions of today's world will be interesting for readers to follow. Issues related to the way we consume are topical. In a context of health crisis, we are beginning to perceive the importance of questioning ourselves in order to best preserve the environment.
Like a Beast: By an Enlightened and Gifted Author
Cédric Taling, an inspired artist brilliantly plays the humor card to address this delicate subject. The passage where his hero finds himself in the time of consumption is particularly effective. While he initially turned to natural products, Richard decided to buy sausage. A most unusual discussion then begins between him and an atypical character. In an era where the world of comics has been particularly affected, we can only warmly recommend this work by Cédric Taling. The author had already practiced writing about our environmental anxieties in Thoreau and I.
