Features: The characters drawn by Sempé are not great heroes, but rather the ordinary people we encounter in our daily lives. With his consistent calm and gentle humor, he presents the joys, sorrows, and quirks of these everyday individuals before our eyes. From Nicolas, Little Scallywag to his recent work My Other Half, we can observe the changes in French society through Sempé's sharp observations. By carefully reviewing Sempé's works from different periods, we discover that the author's skill in visual imagery has grown increasingly profound, and his text has been refined to become more concise. Particularly in his more recent works, the images can even transcend the limitations of text, conveying emotions and meanings that words alone cannot express.
