Parker & Badger #3

The third album in Cuadrado's cheerful Franco-Belgian series finds the mismatched duo right where you'd expect them — at a crosswalk, navigating city life with their usual comic flair. The cover shows the tall, lanky Parker striding across a zebra crossing while little Badger looks up with wide-eyed curiosity, both seemingly oblivious to the road sign beside them bearing a silhouette that mirrors their own odd-couple dynamic. Published by Dupuis in 2005, Passage de Blaireaux promises the warm, lighthearted humor that makes this series such an easy pleasure to pick up.
