Nothing is Simple is classic Sempé – a timeless mix of everyday moments and surreal situations, captured with characteristic playfulness and attention to detail. Sempé’s world is populated by nosy neighbours, mischievous schoolboys and thwarted lovers, by snooty holidaymakers and crowds of frustrated commuters in the big city. These inimitable drawings and watercolours, accompanied by perfectly judged deadpan captions, are fresh, engaging and funny, and will be appreciated by cartoon connoisseurs and Francophiles as well as the general public.
