Les Fondus

A lighthearted, long-running French series from Bamboo Édition, Les Fondus (2007–present) follows a group of passionate but hapless hobbyists whose obsessions—from model trains to wine tasting—invariably lead to comedic chaos. Spanning 18 issues, the series is best known for its gag-a-page format and the collaborative work of writers like Cazenove and Richez, with art by various hands. It matters as a staple of Bamboo’s humor line, offering a warm, gently satirical look at the quirks of fandom and niche collecting.
