Critics Review

“Guided by caregivers, administrators, but mostly the patients, the observant duo turn their initial announcement of ‘We’re here to make a comic about Chesnaie’ into a surprisingly participatory, warmly individualized, even laugh-out-loud, record of mental illness.”

“Showing compassion for others is a rare thing these days, especially when it comes to people with disabilities. But in The Third Population we have just that. Aurélien Ducoudray and Jeff Pourquié—maybe even without intending to—have created a graphic novel that is kind, honest, heartfelt, and humane.”
—Damien Canteau Comixtrip
“A book full of life and humor, on an unusual psychiatric establishment.”
—Guillaume Garcia-Mora Planète BD
