Les Pétanqueurs #4

The fourth installment of Cazenove & Curd Ridel's pétanque comedy series takes the gang straight to the seaside, where the boules just won't stop rolling — even waist-deep in the Mediterranean. The cover sets a gloriously sun-soaked tone: a burly, enthusiastic player lines up his throw in the shallows alongside a young snorkeler and a bikini-clad redhead, all surrounded by colorful boules bobbing in the water, while a makeshift rock "table" holds a refreshing drink nearby. Le ciel, le cagnard et la mer promises a summer full of laughs, with Bamboo Édition delivering the perfect beach read for fans of this warm, good-humored series.
