Les Concontes #[nn]

A plucky, red-clad hero scales the crumbling stone wall of a tall medieval castle tower — the word "CRRRR" telegraphing exactly how precarious that grip is — while a pair of onlookers peer down from a window above, seemingly unimpressed. Created by Nena and Witko for Fluide Glacial, Les Concontes wraps its fairy-tale foolishness in a clean, cheerful ligne claire style that makes the whole misadventure look thoroughly delightful. A fine 2018 addition for anyone who enjoys their medieval comedy served with a side of crumbling masonry.
