Started great (i loved the pig-dogs) but eventually devolved into sheer absurdist nonsense. ( )

Une bande d’archéologues un peu barrés visitent un Paris post apocalyptique glaciaire et cherchent à comprendre « qui étaient-ils? »

Drôle et plutôt finaud. Et si nous non-plus, nous n’avions rien compris à nos ancêtres…

Pour un envol final bien délirant ( )

The story was iffy, but the art was fabulous. I somehow doubt the contents of the Louvre would be so well preserved after 2000 years, even if frozen under a glacier... Great pigdogs. ( )

I liked the way to interpret the Louvre collection and give it a will of its own. ( )

This wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought it would be pictures interspersed with text, similar to Motel of the Mysteries, but it was a straight out graphic novel. It is part of a series commissioned by the Louvre. In the far future, a group of humans and genetically modified dogs are exploring glacier-covered Europe, and discover the Louvre, which has been buried in the ice. They piece together various unscientific theories about the meanings of the works of art in the museum. The art-related story was much more engaging than the human interaction aspect of the book. Physically, I found it a little difficult to read, because the drawings were intricate but dim, and the print small, so I ended up taking off my glasses and holding the book very close. The great works of art are beautifully integrated into the story. I don't know yet whether I will keep this or not, because there were things that fascinated me, and other things that I really disliked.
