The latest by the King of Norwegian comics is here!  Jason has been residing in the south of France for the last eight years or so -- and, really, who can blame him?  It gets cold -- and dark! -- up there in Norway.  But, we here at Copacetic are worried about him.  You can take the cartoonist out of Norway, but, from the looks of things, you can't take the Norway out of the cartoonist, and the strain is starting to show.  Jason's comics here are as crisp and clean as ever; he certainly hasn't lost his chops.  But the consciousness that he is laconically delineating in the stories collected in this full color, hardcover volume -- all new to North American readers -- is fragmented and jumbled, occasionally to the point of incoherence.  It's not a coincidence that you can only say ennui in French.  Jason fans -- which we here at Copacetic stalwartly remain -- will nevertheless want to pick up this volume for the sheer cartooning majesty; there's still nobody who can do it like Jason.  Perhaps it's just time for Jason to move on, geographically; perhaps give Barcelona a try...
