Les Fonctionnaires #11

The eleventh volume of Bloz and Béka's charming French comedy series finds its frazzled office worker attempting a lotus-position meditation session atop a broken photocopier — "En Panne" sign and all — while scattered papers litter the floor around her. The subtitle Restons zen ! ("Let's stay zen!") perfectly captures the gentle workplace absurdity that has made Les Fonctionnaires a beloved fixture of Franco-Belgian humor. A warm and funny entry from Bamboo Édition's 2010 lineup for anyone who has ever needed a deep breath between bureaucratic disasters.
