Parker & Badger #8

The eighth volume of Cuadrado's charming Parker & Badger series arrives with a title that translates to "Having fun?" — and the cover answers that question immediately. Parker and his two young companions are sprawled on the grass mid-card game, surrounded by stacks of comics, poker chips, and playing cards, radiating the kind of easygoing mischief that has made this series a delight. It's a warm, funny snapshot of childhood leisure that fits perfectly into Dargaud's 2011 lineup.
