Kathy’s kat #5

Volume 5 of this charming Franco-Belgian all-ages series finds Kathy and her cat front and center — both pulling the same hilariously indignant face as they glare at the reader in the foreground, while a couple shares a cozy candlelit dinner in the soft-lit background behind them. The warm coral-and-pink palette and the synchronized expressions between girl and cat perfectly capture the playful bond at the heart of this series. Yrgane Ramon's expressive, cartoon-forward linework is in fine form here, making this an inviting pick for fans of lighthearted European comics.
