Join Dennis, Johnny, and Frances in this episode of Graphic Novel Explorers Club as they discuss Park Bench by writer and artist Christophe Chabouté. Park Bench is the story of a community going about its life while a simple, common park bench is the hub for all of the characters to live their lives.
In this episode the gang discusses Chabouté’s ability to tell a beautiful and emotional story without using any character dialogue; if there is or is not a French custom or law that requires one man to give another man his fishing rod based on penis size; why druggies ending up with “the bench” is more heartbreaking than one half of an elderly couple dying; why “the party is unending” can’t last longer than “I love you”; the movement by local governments toward “defensive design“; and the storying telling and the art of Park Bench.
