Lève Ta Jambe Mon, Poisson Est Mort! (Lift Your Leg, My Fish Is Dead!) - Softcover

Leve Ta Jambe, Mon Poisson Est Mort! features short stories from Julie Doucet's comic book series Dirty Plotte. Andrea Juno sums up Doucet's artwork nicely by saying that it "perfectly complements her stories; her style is both friendly and grotesque, featuring heavily inked, cramped panels. Her comics detail her life as a wandering girl dating, drawing, and drinking.... Her characters are instantly recognizable and drawn with an endearing honesty and compassion." This material is not for those who have fragile images of the feminine.

Julie Doucet was born near Montreal in 1965 and is best known for her frank, funny, and sometimes shocking comic book series Dirty Plotte, which changed the landscape of alternative cartooning. In the 1990s, Doucet moved between New York, Seattle, Berlin, and Montreal, publishing the graphic novels My New York Diary, Lift Your Leg, My Fish is Dead!, My Most Secret Desire, and The Madame Paul Affair in this time. In 2000, she quit comics to concentrate on other art forms; from these experiments emerged the collection of engravings and prints Long Time Relationship, and her one-year visual journal, 365 Days. Her post-comics artwork includes silkscreened artist's books, text-based collages, and animation films.
