Cerise #2

The cover of Cerise Vol. 2 — subtitled Smart Faune — sets the tone perfectly: a panicked white horse peers out of a burning stable while two wide-eyed kids scramble in alarm at the flames engulfing the wooden structure around them. Laurel's cartooning is warm and expressive, turning a genuinely chaotic scene into something that feels more delightfully absurd than dire. Published by Le Lombard in 2014, this second volume promises the same lively, animal-fueled comedy that makes the series such a fun read for younger audiences.
