A comic about modern diseases and everyday people
Lucille Petridou is a modern woman, executive of a large company. The 2009, forced to change sign. He went from Gemini to Cancer. Breast cancer. The right one specifically…

Her health adventure had a happy ending. He returned to the sign of Gemini along with a spartan comic, in which he describes the path from diagnosis to treatment. Self-mockery, the author's wordplay and killer humor break down all the taboos surrounding the disease of cancer.

Bubu is a companion and disarming commentator, the small Pug dog that lives with the heroine for the last eight years in Kypseli. That's wonderful ”hand made” sketches of the comic are signed by Polly Pouliou.
