Le Fayot #1

The first volume of this French all-ages comedy from Delcourt Jeunesse kicks off with a title that says it all — Le Fayot ("The Teacher's Pet") — and the cover delivers the premise in one perfectly composed classroom scene. An eager, bespectacled kid shoots his hand in the air with a gleeful "Moi M'sieur! Moi M'sieur!" while a row of grumpy, scowling classmates glares at him from behind, clearly unimpressed. It's a charming and instantly relatable setup, brought to life with the lively cartooning of Veys, Toulon, and Guenard.
