Description
Die Laughing, which is executed in stark black and white, takes aim at everyone and everything in its scathing critique of modern life, but is particularly ruthless toward animal abusers, the military industrial complex, and death penalty enthusiasts. Franquin's loose but meticulous line work features expressionistic shadows and silhouettes that infuse his depressed, repressed, and oppressed characters with a disturbing manic energy. Die Laughing is filled with visual gags and gag-inducing visuals that will haunt you.

Person
André Franquin (1924-1997) was a trailblazer during Belgian's Golden Age of comics and heavily influenced the generation that followed. Probably best known in the US for his Marsupilami character, which was adapted into a Disney cartoon in the 1990s, he also created Gaston the Blunderer. He won several international prizes, including the Grand Prix at Angouléme.
