About the Author
Anouk Ricard was born in 1970 in southern France. She studied at the Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence and the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts where she graduated with a degree in illustration. She launched her career in comics with Anna and Froga, a children's series first published by Capsule Cosmique magazine, and later published in English by Drawn & Quarterly. The french edition of Animan--soon to be published in English by Drawn & Quarterly--was awarded the special jury prize at the 2023 Angoulème Comics Festival. In 2025 Ricard was awarded the Angoulême Grand Prize in recognition for her lifetime career achievement in comics.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Workplace stresses may be killer in this off-the-rails office satire Richard thinks he's in luck when he snags a job at the cuckoo-clock factory, but things start to go wrong right off the bat. First of all there's his boss, who doesn't seem to have the strongest grip on reality and has an odd penchant for silly hats. Then there are his coworkers, who are alternately evasive and idiotic when asked about anything pertaining to actually getting work done. Finally there's George, the employee Richard's replacing, who supposedly quit but whose family has just appeared on national TV pleading for his safe return. It's all adding up to a very strange workplace, and when the company goes on a retreat, everything spools quickly out of control. From the author of Anna and Froga comes a wry, offbeat whodunnit that centers on office life. Anouk Ricard's subtle, sardonic humor undermines the characters' desperate attempts to be taken seriously, as they bungle kidnappings, misunderstand social cues, and let petty disagreements become feuds. Ricard's dim-witted characters aspire to deviousness but miss their mark, remaining firmly in the domain of slapstick. With cleverly observed dialogue, charming artwork, and brilliantly over-the-top plotting, Benson's Cuckoos will delight the adult fans of Ricard's comics for kids. Seller Inventory # CIN1770461388G
