For a while, Félixe’s house has been on the move. Mountain, city or countryside, the decor changes every morning. The only movement in Félixe’s sad life until Mi, Prune Diane and Baby come knocking on her door. First comic strip for Sophie Bédard, Félixe and the house that walked at night is an ode to friendship in which the author and illustrator manages to recount absence and mourning with rare gentleness and sensitivity. The arrival of each of the characters punctuates Félixe’s daily life and contributes to its improvement. If the text grabs by the accuracy of the emotions staged, by authentic dialogues peopled with necessary silences, the index of “cuteness” reaches peaks in the illustration. Whether it’s Mi, the tiny little cat, curled up on Félixe’s huge bed, or Prune, the bird stretching out its paw to greet, or even Baby, a hungry little tornado — who, once sated, falls asleep face down — each box is inhabited by these expressive and endearing characters that we would like to have them in our house. More than famous.
