Why can't he manage to walk his dog, hit the gym, or even push a shopping cart down the grocery aisle without having yet another weird encounter? Or, just maybe, is he the one who provokes them? Even with those closest to him, Pascal has a knack for getting into trouble, especially when his young daughter Lucie starts to ask him profound questions about life, death, and the universe that he doesn't quite know how to answer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From encounters with would-be swingers at the dog park to ferocious felines at the local cat cafe, in these short, snappy comic strips Pascal Girard delivers snippets inspired by his daily life, with a bittersweet humor that's sometimes mocking, sometimes tender, but always deeply observant. \u003ci\u003ePastimes\u003c\/i\u003e is a funny and surprisingly moving portrait of passing time in the modern world, one comic at a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pascal Girard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2925114547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782925114543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e POW POW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Pascal Girard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087726788863,"sku":"9782925114543","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_785f5163-c56c-4f2a-9b0b-13b327aeea58.jpg?v=1753850619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pastimes-pascal-girard-9782925114543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
