Published by Dargaud Editions, Trois + deux = Fiiiiive[1] is a comic strip which kindly addresses the theme of blended families under the gaze of different endearing and deeply human characters.
Signed by the screenwriters Ludovic Danjou and Alessandra Sublet, and the designer Francesca Marinelli, this comic anchors its story in the daily life of blended families, a reality today experienced by more than a million households in France.
It is therefore quite natural that the authors chose to create a fair work, which brings together the views of parents and that of children.
From ideas to images
Leila is the mother of young Valentin. Julian is the father of two daughters: Julietta and Billie. The couple lives perfect love far from the gaze of their respective children. However, this situation is no longer tenable for the two adults who now wish to tell them the news. Worry then sets in, because they fear their children’s reaction.
For their part, the children have already carried out their investigation and are organizing themselves to form the Movement for the Protection of Children from Blended Families (MPEFR).
Through this story, the authors draw on their own experiences to tell a story in which both adults and children can recognize themselves.
