Cédric #4

A burst of fireworks and barely-contained chaos sets the tone for this 2011 Dupuis collection from Laudec and Cauvin. The cover shows young Cédric and a friend gleefully launching a large red rocket firework, while a startled dog scrambles away in wide-eyed panic against a snowy backdrop lit by colourful explosions overhead. Subtitled Recueil de Gags Animaliers, this volume promises a delightful round-up of animal-centred comic strips built around the mischief and warmth the series does so well.
