Bob & Bob #[nn]

From Editions Paquet, this 1999 French-language volume of *Bob & Bob* announces itself with cheerful, absurdist charm — the cover shows a stout, curly-haired figure seen from behind, hanging an improbable number of polka-dotted bikini bottoms on two clotheslines stretching across a bright turquoise background. It's the kind of deadpan domestic surrealism that sets the tone perfectly for the duo's humor. A fun, lighthearted pick for fans of Franco-Belgian comedy comics.
