About the author
Julie Doucet
62 books182 followersJulie Doucet is a Canadian underground cartoonist and artist, best known for her autobiographical works such as Dirty Plotte and My New York Diary.
Doucet began cartooning in 1987. Her efforts quickly began to attract critical attention, and she won the 1991 Harvey Award for "Best New Talent".
Shortly thereafter, she moved to New York. Although she moved to Seattle the following year, her experiences in New York formed the basis of the critically-acclaimed My New York Diary (1999). She moved from Seattle to Berlin in 1995, before finally returning to Montreal in 1998. Once there, she released the twelfth and final issue of Dirty Plotte before beginning a brief hiatus from comics.
She returned to the field in 2000 with The Madame Paul Affair, a slice-of-life look at contemporary Montreal which was originally serialized in Ici-Montreal, a local alternative weekly. At the same time, she was branching out into more experimental territory, culminating with the 2001 release of Long Time Relationship, a collection of prints and engravings. In 2004, Doucet also published in French an illustrated diary (Journal) chronicling about a year of her life and, in 2006, an autobiography made from a collage of words cut from magazines and newspapers (J comme Je).
In 2007, Doucet published 365 Days, in which she chronicles her life for a year, starting in late 2002.
After a long hiatus, Doucet came back to publication with Time Zone J (2022).

Ok, so I actually read issues #4 and 5, but Doucet does not disappoint. It's full of all the little vulgar strips that make her comics so delightful, and it has the added bonus of commentary from her readers, which include what names her readers have given their penises and what tattoos they have in incriminating locations.

The return of Monkey... but she dies right away!
We get another strip of Robert walking through town. I love the way Doucet draws the cityscapes.
Doucet meets with her friend and asks an older guy friend to help them steal a motorcycle helmet. Later Doucet ends up at a picnic and goes home with a much older man and has sex for the first time.
