Les Familius #17

Volume 17 of Nicolas Doucet's Les Familius arrives with a title — Un long fleuve tranquille — that is cheerfully contradicted by its own cover: four kids are piled into an inflatable kayak, paddles raised and grins wide, joyfully careening down a staircase while two adults below watch the chaos unfold, one balancing a precarious stack of plates. Doucet's bright, expressive art captures the warm, lovable mayhem that has made this French family series such a delight, and this 2025 entry from Editions Plein Vent looks like another perfectly charming addition to the collection.
