In "Fouchtrax et Deville," the outdated robot Fouchtrax answers his uncle Deville’s invitation to the big city, where he’s thrust into a bizarre world of oddities and stage performances, all in the hope of earning enough to support his family. With a mix of mechanical charm and awkward flair, Fouchtrax navigates the strange spectacle of the urban spectacle, one step at a time.
In *Vacances sur Proxima*, Adolphus Claar takes a much-needed vacation aboard an interstellar cruise ship, only to find himself stranded on the abandoned planet Proxima when the vessel makes an unexpected emergency landing. With no immediate rescue in sight, he’s left to navigate the strange new world—though his biggest challenge may be staying sane in the middle of nowhere.
