Les Damnés de la route #4

The fourth volume of Les Damnés de la Route delivers another dose of road-trip comedy, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a battered Citroën 2CV rockets off a cliff while its two bickering passengers — a frustrated woman clutching a map and a stubbornly defiant man — go airborne above it, speech bubble and all. Published by Bamboo Édition in 2004, this French humor series keeps its signature slapstick energy firmly in gear with a title — Vol au dessus d'un nid de 2 chevaux — that cheekily riffs on a certain famous film. A charming and genuinely funny album for anyone who has ever argued over a shortcut.
