Les Blagues Corses #2

The second volume of Les Blagues Corses keeps the humor rolling with this playful 2007 Delcourt release from Panetier and Fich. The cover sets the comic tone perfectly: a grinning, broad-shouldered fellow in a yellow shirt holds two tiny caricatured figures in his hands — one a scrappy little militant type, the other a uniformed officer — like puppets in his own private show. Subtitled Jeux de Mains ("Sleight of Hand"), this volume promises exactly the kind of sharp, good-natured wit about Corsican life that made the series a fun read.
