C'est la Vie is one of my favorite comics. Though surly Frenchwoman may not sound like a good time to you (though maybe it does? I don't know your life!), Jennifer Babcock has created a funny, sympathetic, infuriating, character in Mona Montrois, and you'll want to see all the twists and turns her story has to offer.
