Le guide du mauvais père #2
Le guide du mauvais père 2
Ensañarse con su hijo para ganarle en un videojuego, soltarle el sermón a su hija por haberle ganado al escondite o, peor aún, inventarse una historia de psicópata asesino a la hora de acostarse... ¿Guy Delisle, autor de obras como Shenzhen, Pyongyang, Crónicas birmanas y Crónicas de Jerusalén, un mal padre? No, simplemente un autor de historietas que busca las ideas allí donde se encuentran y las adereza con un agudo sentido de la observación y una gran capacidad para reírse de sí mismo.
Guy Delisle juega con nuestro sentimiento de culpa y se adjudica, para mayor disfrute de sus lectores, el papel de padre irresponsable y canalla. Delisle se divierte pervirtiendo el imaginario infantil y actúa como un adulto mezquino ante sus hijos sin prestar atención a las consecuencias de su proceder y del contenido de las historias que les cuenta.

I love Guy Delisle's sense of humor and laughed out loud on nearly every page of this incredibly funny and perceptive autobiographical account of fatherhood. Don't miss out on his longer works such as Shenzen!

Even More Bad Parenting Advice is the sequel to last year’s The User’s Guide to Neglectful Parenting by the brilliant Guy Delisle.
Rather than dispensing advice though (not that the other book did either), this is a collection of very funny vignettes featuring Delisle and his son and daughter, both of whom are roughly between 5 and 10 years old.
Of course Delisle’s not really a bad parent but you can see he really enjoys teasing his kids like when he stresses out his boy by pretending to invite a homeless man back to the house to stay with them for a time. He even goes as far as tying a string around his daughter’s loose tooth and a doorknob, pretending that he’s going to slam it and pull the tooth out - he doesn’t, but he keeps telling her he’s going to slam the door while she sits on the chair, worried out of her mind!
Some episodes are funnier than others but all are really enjoyable. Like when he attends a parent/teacher evening and he tunes out and gets carried away doodling in his daughter’s notebook, before the teacher asks him a question and he flashes back to when he was in school and did the same thing then. Or when he introduces his son to Warcraft 2 and pressurises him by getting carried away with the game (“Right click! That peon’s not doing anything! Build towers - they’re attacking! Click click click!”).
He’s also very wry about his own parenting skills, like how he pretends to be this laid back dad who doesn’t care about punctuality before his own nature overwhelms him and he and his son end up rushing to school. Or when his kids tell him they love him so he rewards them and with each cheer from them, he one-ups himself before committing to buying them a PS3 before he knows what he’s done!
My favourite story though was his daughter’s birthday party when she invites a boy who hit her in class before getting moved elsewhere in the classroom. Delisle gets pissed off that some snot-nosed punk would hit his little girl so he finds out who the kid is early on in the party, then later rigs a pinata up, making sure the kid is in front. He blindfolds his daughter and lifts her up to whack the pinata, then, while she’s still flailing with the stick, pretends to drop her a bit so that she’s in range of the kid beneath, and whacks him on the head! The look on his face when the boy’s dad comes to pick him and the two walk away is hilarious.
Though he’s best known for his travelogues to regions like North Korea, Jerusalem, and Burma, Delisle is also a witty observer and storyteller of his everyday life as a father. Whether or not you’re a parent, these humorous comics are a highly entertaining read. Even More Bad Parenting Advice is another excellent book from Guy Delisle.

Tiene partes muy divertidas, y otras no tanto, llega a tocar temas políticamente incorrectos. Pero bueno es un libro de comedia y se le perdona, pero igual mucho de su contenido no me hizo reír.

Randomly reserved at library due to funny title.
Turns out it was quite a laugh. This guy's dad character seems like a cross between me and Calvin's dad from Calvin & Hobbes. Some of the things are right on, to the point my wife was laughing hard and saying "did you read that? That's so you!" Well yes. The section where the dad buys comics for the kid instead of real books, and then promises a new PS3 (with Mario Kart??? oops!) to be the cool dad. Telling the son he's going to have a homeless man move into their house, or fooling mom into thinking the son actually knew his speech.
But the best is when the bully gets smacked in the head during pinata time. Priceless.
Well worth a read, very quick and easy.

In questo secondo volume scopriamo che il figlio maschio si chiama Louis e per la prima volta vediamo pure la mamma.
La piccola di sei anni continua a porre domande al papà che sta facendo calcoli, non la sopporta più e lo capiscono tutti tranne lei, povera! 😂
Grandi discussioni sui barboni è questa volta ad avere i denti traballanti è la piccola.
Si capisce che il maschio ha più complicità: va al mare da solo con lui, si nasconde dietro la mamma per suggerirgli le poesie.
Irriverente al punto giusto!! Ancora cinque stelle!

I was happy to stumble upon this bool while looking for something new at the library. The title made me giggle as does this book.
This translation (from Canadian Guy Delisle) is a simply drawn comic like narrative about a father with a son and daughter who gives terrible advice. The humour here is a bit dry and dark so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. It's a fast read, an hour or so if you have the time.

Even better than the original, Delisle comforts those of us helicopter-averse, imperfect, shamefully human parents of the world with his wonderful wit and honesty. Love those conversations with his kids, they are eerily similar to my own (Me to my 7-year-old: "Tanning? Why would you want to go tanning? We are super fair-skinned! Tanning will give you skin cancer and then you'll DIE!"). Just love this series.

I do believe the proper title for this little series should just be Honest Parenting. We have more little cartoons here with the artist being a Dad and abusing his position as Dad to humorous effect. If you liked this first collection, you'll like this too. I do think this one if my favourite of the two though.

Brevi bozzetti umoristici e si suppone autobiografici su un papà moderatamente diseducativo. Delisle è simpatico ma non sempre strappa la risata come vorrebbe. Personalmente trovo molto più gusto nel segno grafico di qualche espressione buffa dei bambini che non nelle battute.
Dividerlo in 3 volumi con una vignetta per pagina è chiaramente un espediente spremisoldi da disprezzare.

Guy Delisle’nin rahatlatıcı çizgileri eşliğinde, bant karikatür tarzı, kısa hikaye usulü, karikatür tipi işler. Bizdeki mizah dergisi tefrikalarını andırıyor. Bir pazar sabahı hoş bir vakit geçirmelik olabilir. Hızlıca da bitiyor. Diğer doyurucu eserlerine göre zayıf. “Must read” değil.

Segunda parte de la guía del mal padre de Delisle. Igualmente divertida, con más situaciones que nos hacen sonreír. La lectura se nos acaba en un suspiro, como la del primer libro, y nos deja con una sonrisa y con la culpa de habernos comprado un caramelo caro que nos hemos comido en una sentada.
Como detalles auténticamente criticables, el autor promete a sus hijos una PS3 para jugar al Mario Kart todo el día (¿perdona, Mario en la Play?) y luego en otra historieta enseña a su hijo a jugar al WoW (Warcraft) pero describe punto por punto el Age of Empires II. Estos dos graves errores de raccord le quitan muchos puntos al autor ante mis ojos. No es uno di noi. No sé si es un aficionado o un impostor, pero en cualquiera de los casos me inspira sospechas.
Esa historieta, por cierto, en la que un padre dedicado abruma al niño contándole toda la estrategia del AoE II en los primeros 5 minutos de juego mientras el niño sufre para mover su primer aldeano, me ha retratado.
He decidido claudicar y he encargado el volumen 3, y aprovechando una oferta de dos volúmenes por el doble, también el cuatro.

"Le guide du mauvais père". Tout est dans le titre. A l'instar des livres comiques qui montrent des situations de la vie de tous les jours que nous avons tous vécu, celui-ci ne s'adresse pas forcément à tous les pères, et encore moins aux mauvais. Guy Delisle nous présente ainsi un papa et ses deux enfants, l'adorable petite Alice et son grand frère Louis. Bien entendu, il n'est pas si mauvais que ça, juste légèrement irresponsable, un peu trop franc, un peu jaloux de la maman (que l'on voit très rarement) et manque certes de pédagogie. Mais c'est ça qui est drôle. Que ce soit dans le tome 2, ici, ou bien dans le tome 3, l'auteur arrive à nous présenter une situation allant crescendo et dont on devine la fin. En effet, chaque question anodine de la petite fille ou chaque remarque du petit garçon donnera forcément lieu à un énervement (comique) du père ou bien à une réponse à laquelle l'on n'aurait pas forcément pensé. Pour prendre un exemple, l'histoire du soir racontée à Alice :
- "Les trois ours arrivent dans la chambre et Boucle d'Or se réveille. Elle a peur et s'enfuit de la maison." Fin. Bon allez il est tard, maintenant dodo.
Alice - Et elle va où, Boucle d'Or ?
- Ben on sait jamais, les ours ne l'ont jamais revue dans leur maison.
- Peut-être qu'elle s'est perdue dans la forêt ?
- C'est possible. Maintenant, il est tard, au dodo !
- Papa ! Et si Boucle d'Or, elle est perdue dans la forêt, peut-être qu'elle a faim ?
- Alice ! Il est presque dix heures ! Demain, il y a école.
- Oui, mais Boucle d'Or...
- Boucle d'Or, elle est morte ! Les ours l'ont retrouvée grelottant de froid au matin et ils l'ont bouffée. Ca lui apprendra à entrer chez des inconnus et à se servir comme si elle était chez elle. Sous prétexte qu'elle a de jolis cheveux, elle peut se conduire comme une délinquante ? Non mais sans blague ! Bien fait pour sa gueule !
Ou comment répondre sans laisser de chance à l'enfant de poser d'autres questions. C'est bête et méchant, mais l'attitude naïve et mignonne de la petite fille se ressent même dans le texte. Et c'est une force de ce livre qui associe dessins plutôt simples à des dialogues qui sont débordants de génie. J'ai dévoré les trois tomes en l'espace d'une journée car ils se lisent très rapidement et j'ai déjà rallié ma mère à mes côtés pour soutenir ce petit livre qui vaut sincèrement la peine d'être acheté et lu.

This is a follow-up to Guy Delisle’s A User’s Guide To Neglectful Parenting, a rather splendid collection of somewhat frightening yet recognisable scenarios we parents get to face. What’s good about this book, and its predecessor, is that it does make you feel you’re not alone, although there are several incidents that you hope never actually happened otherwise Mr Delisle may well find himself in trouble with the authorities.
His travelogue books are excellent observant records of travelling and living in places such as Burma and China, and what makes them fascinating is that the day-to-day exploits are interesting enough in their own rights because the interactions are often so very different to our own lives. When you’re reading this book, however, you can’t really be sure how much is autobiographical and how much is fiction. I’m tempted to say the former with a smidgen of the latter for good measure.
His particular brand of parenting is a little ramshackle, contributing to the awkwardness of many of the situations. Because he works from home much of the day-to-day interactions with the children are without the presence of his wife, and involve such scenarios as exacting revenge on a classmate of his daughter via the medium of a children’s party game, taking his son to the beach while the shark warning flag is flying and explaining how having a homeless person come live with them would be a good idea.
In A Night At The B&B his son is feeling grumpy that he has to sleep in the bed nearest the door while his sister gets to sleep next to the wall. In an effort to explain to his son the considerate and caring role a big brother should take he manages to mangle the explanation through a fumbled example of a psychopath happening upon the room and his son taking the blow first. Cringeworthy, but very funny.
In Hide & Seek he is stung by his small daughter’s comments that he’s no good at the game, something he takes far too personally with a disproportional critique of her own skills.
Like the original book, it’s perhaps a little too brief, but certainly perfectly formed.

Borrowed a copy from the library. Read out of order, as the first book wasn't available at the time, though a compilation of short vignettes isn't likely to be impacted by that.
Given all the reviews, I expected a much funnier read than I ended up experiencing. As per title and description, the book offers short graphical vignettes describing bad parenting advice. A little girl and her somewhat older brother are the recipients of this questionable advice. Unfortunately, most stories seemed to fall short of their intended effect for me, while others left me wondering if perhaps the punchline had been accidentally omitted completely.
The read is an easy and rapid, if not a very humorous, one, with an average of two graphics per page, and a total of 191 pages for the entire book. I read the book in less than half-an-hour, sharing it along the way with a friend, who was equally disenchanted with this title.
Given that I do not really see a lot of "replay" value to "Even More Bad Parenting Advice", and with humor being such a personal thing, I'd recommend borrowing it first (be it from a friend or the library) to make sure the humor of this title aligns well with your own before you make a purchase. With a price tag of $13 for less than 30 minutes of reading, it is quite steep.

This is a trimmed down version of my review, to view the full review visit The Book Ramble.
Delisle art style is sort of like a comic strip, which makes it easy to read, and re-read like any classic newspaper comic strip. It's easily digestible and easily shared. This is a huge part of why I love Delisle work because it's really a great style for just about any reader. He also has a good sense of movement in his work, which I guess comes from his work in cartoons.
This book is vignettes about his family, each one only a few pages. These vignettes display his sense of humor, his style, and his timing really well. I love them because they are cute, short, and sweet. All of the vignettes got smiles or chuckles from me. His family stories have a sense of continuity if you've read his previous work, which is great because you get a sense of them as people with personalities.
I don't have a lot to say about this book, except that is is excellent. Cute, short, sweet, and funny it emcompasses a lot of the fantastic qualities of graphic novels and comic strips in one book. It's a book I recommend from an author and artist I highly recommend.

Bon, le second volume est très similaire un premier (que j'ai commenté précédemment). Il s'agit de seize petites histoires toutes simples (Mathématiques, Lundi midi, Les devoirs, Le visiteurs, La dent, Nuit au gîte, La piñata, La cachette, Warcraft II, La librairie, Le Cancre, Baignade à La Réunion, Pendaison de crémaillère, Surcharge pondérale, Flash-back et Ponctualité) d'une douzaine de pages (entre 6 et 16 pages, deux panneaux par page) où un père un peu égoïste et amoral abuse psychologiquement ses enfants de son humour tordu, parfois sans vraiment sans rendre compte.
Cela crée des situations cocasses, sans doute inspirées de la vie quotidienne de l'auteur (mais, on l'espère, pas trop réelle). Ce qui est extraordinaire c'est qu'en quelques traits simples, Delisle réussi à décrire des situations ou des expressions tout de même assez complexes.
Tout comme le premier volume, c'est une BD qui offre un humour léger et se lit très rapidement. C'est une lecture agréable et amusante. Parfait pour l'autobus ou la salle d'attente.

"Even More Bad Parenting Advice" continues the adventures of a dad who works from home and serves as the primary caregiver for his 2 kids. The mom is a medical doctor (with the NGO Doctor's Without Borders) and often comes across as the "bad cop" to the dad's "good cop."
The highlight of this collection of vignettes was the story involving the "bad cop" mom asking her small son to recite some school work, from memory, because the assignment is due tomorrow.
The reader knows that the child is completely unprepared because he has been goofing-off with dad, all afternoon, ignoring all school work, when he should have been studying.
Hoo-boy! Nothing good can come of this . . . Recommend! 5 Stars.

Несмотря на ещё более ужасающее название, "вредные советы" на этот раз практически невинны. Дети немного подросли, так что подвергать их жизнь физическим опасностям нерадивым родителям нет необходимости. Теперь можно просто-напросто разрушить детскую психику неосторожными замечаниями и дурацкими шутками.
Прекрасно, что персонажи всех книг Делиля одинаковы - он сам, его жена и двое детей. Все они не меняются (правда, дети растут) от книги к книге, так что это как бы одна сквозная история (правда, в отличие от травелогов, тут истории вымышлены). На самом деле у автора есть и другие истории и персонажи, но они за пределы Канады практически не выбираются.

J'ai adoré le premier tome, feuilleté par hasard dans une librairie, absolument génial.
J'ai directement acheté les tomes 1 et 2 pour offrir à des amis qui venaient d'avoir un bébé, certaine que c'était mon et leur genre d'humour, mais j'ai quand même lu le tome 2 avant de faire mon emballage cadeau. Finalement, je me suis contentée de leur offrir le 1.
Certaines des histoires du tome 2, plus que tomber à plat, m'ont mise mal à l'aise, notamment celle avec les deux enfants au lit, qui est super sexiste. D'autres histoires sont très bonnes mais ça m'a gâché ce bouquin.
Je suis persuadée que ce tome 2 fera rire plein de gens. Ça n'a pas marché sur moi.

"Even More Bad Parenting Advice," the sequel to Guy Delisle's hilarious "The Users Guide To Neglectful Parenting," is another volume of short comics about loving your kids but also kind of resenting having to parent them. Whether he's bribing his children to win their love or describing in detail to his son how a hypothetical psychotic killer would attack the boy, Delisle finds the humor in his shortcomings as a father. I actually liked this volume more than the first, maybe because his kids are older now so they come off more as co-conspirators instead of victims. Regardless, if you enjoyed "The Users Guide To Neglectful Parenting," you'll enjoy this one, too.
