Debiling Stories #[nn]

Published by Audie under the Fluide Glacial imprint in 2012, this French humor anthology from Mo/CDM promises "12.5 histoires pas trop compliquées à comprendre (normalement)" — a cheeky promise of 12.5 not-too-complicated stories spanning an absurdly wide range of genres listed right on the cover: adventure, sci-fi, sorcery, nuclear war, geriatrics, the internet, and more. The cover itself sets the comedic tone perfectly, with a blissfully relaxed fellow lounging in a hammock while a chaotic crowd of figures surges dramatically below him — a neat visual gag summing up the whole "Debiling" spirit. Fans of irreverent Franco-Belgian comedy in the tradition of Fluide Glacial will find this a cheerfully silly package, proudly "tout en couleurs, tout en 2D, tout en finesse.
