Conrad et Paul #5

Ralf König's beloved odd couple gets the full adult-comedy treatment in this 2002 Glénat collection, subtitled Poppers ! Mange-cul ! Pince-tétons ! — so you already know the humor pulls no punches. The cover, entirely König's own work, shows one of the duo wide-eyed and flustered, slumped into a dark sofa with his wrists apparently bound, a roll of toilet paper nearby and assorted small items scattered on the floor — a perfectly absurd snapshot of König's signature style. If you appreciate sharp, unapologetic comedy drawn with König's wonderfully rubbery line work, this volume delivers exactly the chaotic charm the series is known for.
