1001 COMICS MINI-SITE

Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

The Rabbi’s Cat

by Joann Sfar

Original publisher: Dargaud (France)
First published: 2003
Reviewed by: Ariel Kahn
Genre: Anthropomorphic, Humour, Religion

Recommendations:

In The Rabbi’s Cat, Joann Sfar’s words and pictures mingle in a dance both sacred and skeptical, perfectly graceful and clumsily human. I loved this book and I’m so grateful Sfar’s brilliance has finally been brought to America. He is one of the brightest cartoonists in the world! - Craig Thompson (Blankets, Habibi)

He draws faster than his shadow. He comes up with new stories as if he were drinking a glass of water. He talks more than anyone I’ve ever know. He’s extremely talented, extremely funny, extremely smart. I guess this is the description of a genius. And I don’t say such things because he’s my friend. Joann Sfar is not a rabbi, but he describes better than anyone the religious dilemma with tenderness, intelligence and humor. The Rabbi’s Cat is a book that everyone should read. - Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis)
