The geezers are back! The Old Geezers Vol 2 includes two new
stories, featuring three septuagenarians who have been friends
since childhood: Antoine, Emile, and Pierrot. In "The One Who Got
Away", things aren't looking so good for the Geezers... one of
them's in the hospital, the other's been arrested, and the third
one is dealing with leaky roofs, drowning sheep, and eggs he
doesn't approve of. Two new characters make their appearance in
this book, and through their stories we are taken to shark-infested
waters and treasure-hunting in the Pacific, to village fairs, rugby
matches, broken hearts, and behavior unbefitting neighbors-which
continues to this day. Thank goodness young Sophie and her puppets
are around to keep these old men in check. And in "The Magician",
peaceful country living consisting of leaky roofs, puppet shows,
and drinks and arguments at the local tavern is disturbed when a
rare species of grasshopper is discovered in a local field, and
suddenly environmentalists, politicians, hunters, Big Pharma, union
people, mushroom pickers and geriatric anarchists are all loudly
fighting for what they believe is the right approach to things. In
the midst of all this, one love story may be blooming in spite of a
curse, another may be doomed for good and for poop, and questions
of paternity arise yet again. The Old Geezers is an international
bestseller, regularly topping the graphic novel bestseller lists
across Europe - with hundreds of thousands of copies sold. Come
find out why the geezers have won the hearts of so many...in this
gorgeously illustrated, beautifully written graphic novel series.
