Les Rugbymen #5

The fifth volume of Béka and Poupard's beloved French humor series delivers its signature brand of comedic chaos right on the cover, where a pack of gloriously rotund rugby players — jerseys, headbands, and all — barrel forward in a gloriously unstoppable scrum, rugby ball in hand. The title On va gagner avec le lard et la manière ("We'll win with fat and style") perfectly sets up the cheerful self-deprecating spirit that makes this series such a joy. Bamboo Édition's 2007 release continues to celebrate the lovable, larger-than-life world of amateur rugby with warmth and irreverent humor.
