Tu mourras moins bête (you won't die quite as stupid) is a comic series adapted from a scientific webcomic that deconstructs pseudo-scientific myths with proper science facts. Each "story" is a few pages long and starts with a (fictitious, I assume) letter to the editor asking a question. The themes are very varied on the blog but thematically regrouped in the (later) paper compilation. This first one is about movie and tv myths, all the silly pseudo-science you see on a tv screen. I'd been eying this one for a long time but worried that it would be too trashy for me to really enjoy. It sure is trashy, but that's actually where most of the comic tension comes from: there's blood and guts and larvae galore, all in the name of science. The next volumes are on my wishlist (and there's a series of mini-TV episodes narrated by François Morel available on Arte's website which I'll be checking up as well.)
