Les Déblok #3

From Florence Cestac and Nathalie Roques, this third volume of Les Déblok bursts with the series' signature anarchic energy — and proudly bears the Grand Prix du Festival d'Angoulême 2000 badge on its cover. The cover art delivers an immediate laugh: a scruffy, wide-eyed dog and an equally disheveled cat are squabbling over a shared bowl, surrounded by a swirling chaos of fish, while a striped orange cat looks on with barely contained alarm. Published by Dargaud in 1998, Truffes et Langues de Chat à la Déblok promises exactly the kind of warm, gloriously messy domestic comedy that made this series a fan favorite.
