'''''Philémon''''' is a [[{{Main/FrancoBelgianComics}} Franco-Belgian]] comic written by Fred ([[{{Main/PenName}} full name]] Frédéric Othon Théodore Aristidès) across sixteen volumes published between 1978 and 2013. The story revolves around the titular character Philémon, a [[{{Main/LazyBum}} lazy lay-about]] with an overactive imagination and his travels to the mysterious “Lettres de l'Ocean Atlantique”, a chain of mystical islands that form the letters “Ocean Atlantique” (Atlantic Ocean in French) on maps and globes, with rules and physics highly reminiscent of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''
The series is notable for its highly surreal art and frequent BreakingTheFourthWall (such as characters manipulating actual panels to move the plot forward). Regarded as one of the most original and poetic Franco-Belgian comics ever written, [[{{Main/NoDubForYou}} it has only just begun]] to be translated out of its native French as of 2014, a year after the author's death.
