Jeanine's Copy of Tout se complique by Jean-Jacques Sempé

Everything is complicated, or Tout se complique, as cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé titled his 1962 book. One Jeanine's former copy of the 1972 softcover edition is currently available from bookseller Librairie du Cardinal in Gradignan. The book includes an original drawing of a man with a felicitously potted plant. The drawing is delightful and simple; the price is a complicated 250 Euros.

Note:  The blog archive boasts a copy of Sempé's Rien n'est simple [Nothing is Simple] with a 1967 drawing of a very long-stemmed flower not unlike the one in this copy of Tout se complique. The two titles are companion volumes. See the related drawing here.
