Les Femmes en Blanc #33

From the long-running Dupuis series by Bercovici and Cauvin, this 2011 volume subtitled Sangsue alitée puts the beloved hospital comedy right where it belongs — at the bedside. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a grinning patient tucked up in bed clutches a small monkey while a small heart floats above, as a clearly unimpressed red-haired nurse in scrubs looks on with a medical case at her feet. It's the warm, gently absurd humor that has made Les Femmes en Blanc a staple of Franco-Belgian comics for decades.
