Boule et Bill #18

From the beloved Franco-Belgian series by Roba, this eighteenth album in the Boule et Bill collection puts the irrepressible cocker spaniel Bill front and center — wearing a silly party hat, tongue lolling, mid-zany dance while a turtle plods nearby and a pair of startled birds flee into the branches. Little Boule watches from the side with the bemused patience only a best friend could muster, setting the tone perfectly for the gentle, warm humor that has made this duo a staple of French-language all-ages comics.
