Ever since then, the Devil has been red, and wearing stockings. Jules here reiterates his story-telling skill, with a magnificent illustration of the Devil at the tailor’s shop.

Jean Michel provides a brilliant graphic, not lacking his on-point sense of humour: the cinema leaning on Netflix, Netflix supporting the cinema.
