Planet Ranger #1

Meet the self-styled guardian of our world — a goofy park ranger in full uniform, proudly saluting while cradling the entire Earth in one hand, blissfully unaware of the industrial machinery and pollution piling up around his feet. Subtitled L'écolo le plus con de la planète ("The planet's dumbest eco-warrior"), this 2009 Belgian comedy from Le Lombard, by Janssens, Julien, and Cdm, sets up a wonderfully absurd premise with a hero whose enthusiasm for environmentalism seems to far outpace his common sense. If laugh-out-loud ecological satire is your thing, Planet Ranger looks like a genuinely fun ride from the very first cover.
