Les 1000 pattes #[nn]

A cheerful slice of vehicular chaos from Bamboo Édition's Les 1000 Pattes series, this 2002 volume — Transports en tout genre — promises a ride through all manner of transportation mishaps. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a massive red semi-truck bears down while a hapless gendarme gets sent flying, hat and all, arms flailing in comic panic, as a calm driver looks on from the cab. Created by Jenfèvre, Sulpice, and Cazenove, it's the kind of broad, good-natured French humor that keeps this series rolling right along.
