Cédric #2

The second volume of Laudec and Cauvin's beloved Belgian series sends young Cédric hurtling down the slopes on skis, pursued by a massive, billowing snowball that threatens to swallow him whole — a perfectly timed snapshot of holiday chaos. "Sneeuwvakantie" (Snow Vacation) captures the cheerful slapstick energy that makes this Dupuis series such a delight, with Laudec's bright, expressive linework giving the snowy mayhem real momentum. If you enjoy warm, funny comics for all ages, this 1999 volume is a fine place to jump in.
