Interrogarse sobre lo que se ve (y lo que no se ve) es lo que más gusta a Olivier Tallec, por eso ha hecho crecer la colección con una propuesta que nos obliga a afinar nuestra capacidad de observación y de imaginación. Con el sentido del humor absurdo y algo travieso al que nos tiene acostumbrados, el autor nos propone situaciones cotidianas llenas de sorpresas y de detalles para intentar averiguar qué ha pasado antes y después.
