Les Foot Furieux #12

The twelfth volume of Gürsel's wildly entertaining French football comedy series delivers more of the slapstick chaos fans have come to love. The cover says it all: a goalkeeper contorts himself in a spectacularly acrobatic — and clearly doomed — attempt to stop a shot, while players in both dark and white kits scramble around the goal mouth, including number 25, all rendered in Gürsel's wonderfully exaggerated cartoon style. Published by Kennes in 2009, this is pitch-side humor at its most joyfully unhinged.
