Jean, Jeanne et les enfants #3

The cover of this third volume from Jan Kruis captures a wonderfully chaotic domestic scene: a man enthusiastically saws away on his violin while the rest of the family — sprawled across the sofa and armchairs — reacts with varying degrees of comic suffering, complete with musical notes and sound effects floating through the air. Even the family's orange cat gets a panel in the corner logo, looking appropriately unimpressed. Published by Le Lombard in 1991, Accordons nos violons promises the warm, gently humorous family comedy that made this Belgian series a pleasure for readers of all ages.
