Paul à la maison est le 9e tome de la série. Cette fois-ci, l’action de déroule en 2012, Paul est auteur de bande dessinée à temps plein et lance un nouvel ouvrage au Salon du livre de Montréal. Entretemps, sa fille part travailler en Angleterre, Lucie n’habite plus avec lui et sa mère ne va pas bien. Paul à a maison traite du deuil, sous de multiples formes. Un album émouvant. Paul at Home is Quebecois superstar Michel Rabagliati’s most personal book yet, a riveting, emotional, and frequently amusing take on the losses and loneliness of being closer to retirement than to university. Paul is in his mid-50s, a successful cartoonist with an achy shoulder living in a house he once shared with his wife and daughter. The backyard is unkempt, full of weeds. A swing set sits idle, slowly rusting beside a half-dead tree Paul planted with his then-five-year-old daughter. The room that belonged to his now-18-year-old daughter is mostly unused, especially once she decides to move overseas. .
