Mixed Messages by Anthea Bell

Sempe has created a world above and beyond specific cultural and political references, a world all of his own, one populated by long-faced, aquiline-nosed depressives - psychoanalysts, housewives, and concert pianists. In 'Mixed Messages' he turns his attention to the trappings of modern life from mobile phones to designer water.

"Poking fun at the urbane patrons of fashionable restaurants to the inhabitants of sleepy hamlets, Sempé treats all his subjects with insight and affection"—The Oldie

Jean-Jacques Sempé (b.1932) is one of the world's most successful illustrators and cartoonists.
