Christmas with Rita and Whatsit

\\\"...brings understated holiday elegance new meaning....Artist Olivier Tallec uses lines like an old master--combining the best qualities of cartoon, decoration, sketch, and doodle. Author Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignods ironic humor creates a subtly charming bit of light holiday play.\\\"
