Les Fonctionnaires #5

A charming slice of French workplace comedy, this 2004 installment from Bamboo Édition follows the hapless bureaucrats of Les Fonctionnaires through the familiar frustrations of office life. The cover page — a lively comic strip — captures a frazzled office worker repeatedly interrupted by a ringing phone, cycling through mounting exasperation as calls pile up in wonderfully expressive cartoon panels. It's a warm, relatable snapshot of civil-service chaos that fans of bande dessinée humor will find instantly delightful.
