The Man, the Fish and the Sea

Daniel Fehr & Maja Celija

The unfortunate vicissitudes of a fisherman, the lucky fortunes of a worm and, all around, the sea: calm and rough. A man, a worm, a sea. Three stories that intertwine. The man lives by the sea and one morning he decides to go fishing for dinner for his family. The worm that lives under a rock becomes bait, and the worm’s family is alarmed when they see it disappear: today is even its birthday…
The fish, meanwhile, swims in the water. And the sea is the sea, and does what the sea does. The worm is eaten, the fish caught and the sea  angry. The man ends up in the water, the fish ends up on land, and the sea shifts for a while. Everything ends well, or almost. The man loses his fish, the worm doesn’t miss its birthday party and the sea calms down.

An exceptional idea, minimal text, and brilliant drawings, ending in a colossal laugh.
