Ariol

A gentle, witty French comic series from Reprodukt, Ariol follows the everyday adventures of a young blue donkey and his animal classmates. Launched in 2013 and running for 22 issues, the series is masterfully scripted by Emmanuel Guibert and Annette von der Weppen, with Marc Boutavant’s warm, expressive art bringing its charming world to life. It matters as a modern classic of European children’s comics, blending humor and heart to explore friendship, school, and family with remarkable grace.
