Panic Stations

This fifth album of illustrations and cartoons by Jean-Jacques Sempe to be published by Phaidon features such familiar Sempe characters as artists, psychologists and more-or-less happily-married couples, although tyrannical computers and surprisingly friendly aliens also put in an appearance. Fresh, funny and beautifully illustrated in Sempe's inimitable style, this book will appeal to cartoon connoisseurs and a general audience alike.
