De Kleine Robbe #7

Volume 7 of the beloved Belgian series finds the irrepressible redheaded Robbe — tennis racket in hand and dressed in his signature red outfit — staring up with wide-eyed curiosity at an oversized classical nude statue. The contrast between the tiny, spirited boy and the enormous sculpted figure sets up a perfectly deadpan comic moment, all delivered with the clean, expressive ligne claire style Tome and Janry bring to the series. Dupuis presents another warmly humorous chapter in this Dutch-language adventure from 1997.
