About Betty's Boob

Joyous, full of panache, very French. This is an almost “silent film”-type comix about a young breast cancer survivor who faces life after a mastectomy. Body image - the rejection, adaptation, and embracing of our new bodies, and the diversity of bodies - is the central open-hearted message. There are occasional silent film-style text interludes, though it's even unclear where these snatches of dialogue or meditation fit into the images. Very light touch, and very beautiful.
