French cartoonist and illustrator Gilles Roussel (better known as Boulet) has been drawing sharp, funny comics for years, from published series work to his long-running webcomic blog Bouletcorp, later collected as Notes. Alongside his online work, he’s also published and collaborated on books, including Bea Wolf, a children’s book written by Zach Weinersmith (of SMBC Comics) and illustrated by Boulet. The story playfully reimagines epic, mythic storytelling in a way that’s big, bold, and accessible for younger readers.
But the strips in this post zoom in on something much smaller and way more relentless: everyday life in your head when you’re a parent, when your body starts filing complaints, and when your brain insists on experiencing the world in its own slightly sideways way.
In short, these comics aren’t about big dramatic events. They’re about the daily chaos you recognize immediately, especially if your life includes kids, creaky joints, or a brain that never shuts up.
