Content : Pepe is probably the laziest sloth on Earth. He spends his days clinging to a branch, head upside down. One morning, an urge to pee forces him to go down to the ground. A long and slow epic begins for Pepe, that will reserve him strange encounters and many surprises...

Critic by Quatrième de couverture: The story praises slowness and patience and... at a time when
society requires us to act ever faster, it is clear that this reading is a real feel-good.

Richard Petitsigne lives in a small village on the banks of the Loire where he writes stories of pirates and parrot... He is a comedian, a storyteller, an author of children's books, an host of theater internships...and the director of the Troll company. He writes or adapts shows and began in 2005 a work around the tale and the orality.

After studying Graphic Arts in Tours, and having some drawings published in “Fluide Glacial”, Olivier Supiot is revealed in Angouleme in 1997. The following year, the Editions du Cycliste published his first album: Erzurum. In 1999, he started “Marie Frisson” that was welcomed by readers and by the critics.
Then, he realized Le Dérisoire with Éric Omond, in which he shows that he is also comfortable with
adult comics. With that album he won the prestigious award for Best Drawing at the 2003 Angouleme Festival. From 2006, he works on a trilogy inspired by the adventures of Baron Munchhausen with Vents d’Ouest. In 2017, he started his collaboration with the Editions de la Gouttière.
