Les Femmes en Blanc #34

From the long-running Belgian comedy series by Bercovici and Cauvin, this 2012 Dupuis volume — subtitled Lavez Maria — sets the comic tone right on the cover: a startled patient is tumbling off a hospital gurney in a tangle of IV lines and medical equipment, while an unflappable nurse calmly mops up the resulting puddle. The bright orange background and broad, expressive cartooning perfectly capture the warm absurdist humor that has made Les Femmes en Blanc such an enduring fixture in Franco-Belgian comics.
