Les jolies filles #[nn]

A sun-drenched beach scene bursts across this Glénat release, with Flix packing the bright yellow cover with a cheerful mosaic of sunbathers lounging on colorful towels — and one wide-eyed little boy standing apart, clearly overwhelmed by it all. The composition is playful and warmly observed, balancing a crowd of relaxed beachgoers with that single small figure whose bewildered reaction gives the whole image a gentle, good-humored punch. For fans of slice-of-life Franco-Belgian comics with a light touch, this 2017 title from Flix looks like a thoroughly charming addition to the shelf.
