Les Femmes en Blanc #38

A hospital room has never looked this lively — the cover of this 2016 Dupuis entry in Bercovici and Cauvin's long-running comedy series erupts with gleeful chaos, as a patient in bed looks on helplessly while a crowd of visitors, a nurse, a dog, and someone who has somehow wheeled in a full barbecue grill turn the ward into something closer to a backyard party. Potes de chambre (roughly "roomies" or "chamber pals") promises the kind of warm, anarchic humor that has kept Les Femmes en Blanc a beloved fixture of Franco-Belgian comics for decades. If you enjoy cartoonish ensemble comedy with a medical backdrop, this volume delivers the prescription in style.
