PARIS. - Mardi 10 Février 2015 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)À l’occasion de la journée mondiale contre le cancer, The Evening Cigarette est une websérie d’animation qui rappelle avec beaucoup d’humour que « fumer tue ».

10 épisodes muets d’une minute, 10 tableaux graphiques, 10 petits instants quotidiens, anodins virant à l’absurde, 10 situations un peu noires mais drôles et pleines de rebondissements.

"Ça fait 2 ans que j'ai arrêté de fumer. 20 ans passés à tirer sur mon mégot, je me devais de rendre hommage à ma bonne vieille copine, la cigarette du soir. Celle qu'on est censé savourer avec calme et sérénité quand le téléphone arrête de sonner, que les enfants sont couchés, que la vaisselle est faite, bref la plus cool des clopes de la journée... Sauf que ça reste une cigarette et qu'elle est tout aussi dangereuse que les autres." - Matthieu Van Eeckhout, l’auteur.
