Le Fond du bocal #4

The fourth volume of Poupon's charming Franco-Belgian humor series Le Fond du Bocal keeps the laughs flowing with its signature aquatic absurdity. The cover shows two goldfish inside a fishbowl — one a scribbled, chaotic tangle of red lines and the other a neatly drawn fish looking on with apparent bewilderment — perfectly illustrating the tagline "Avez-vous récemment été en contact avec de très jeunes enfants?" ("Have you recently been in contact with very young children?"). It's a wonderfully deadpan visual gag that captures exactly the playful, offbeat wit Poupon brings to this Drugstore/Glénat series in 2009.
