La bd de Soledad #4

The fourth annual compilation of La BD de Soledad arrives from Rue de Sèvres with the same breezy wit that makes this series so endearing. The cover says it all: Soledad's cheerfully exasperated cartoon heroine throws her arms wide, declaring "Plus d'abdos, plus rien, je veux être molle!" — done with abs, done with effort, fully committed to going soft — while a pair of boxing gloves and a jump rope lie discarded at her feet. It's a warm, instantly relatable slice of everyday humor that captures exactly why this 2016 collection is such a delight.
