The Rabbi's Cat

(Click on the image to enlarge it)

From a Nextbook interview with Joann Sfar on his graphic tale of a clever, possibly Jewish, cat:

French author Joann Sfar's erudite, charming, and hilarious graphic novel, set in 1930s Algeria, stars an earthy old rabbi and a hyperintelligent, scrawny feline. This learned but skeptical animal, having miraculously developed the power of speech, argues with his master against the existence of God and the inanities of French colonial bureaucracy, but his primary concern is his ability to snuggle uninterruptedly in the arms of the rabbi's beautiful young daughter. The cat narrates a tale that meanders from the medina of Algiers to desert oases where traveling Jews and Arabs make music together to the bohemian quarters of Paris, where Jewish assimilation is all the rage. Along the way, it richly illuminates a lost world, pulled between the lures of tradition and modernity.

I like so much the cartoons, I love drawing a lot of samples of those ones, but on the other hand I had liked to get more and clear information about this article.
