Les Toubibs #9

The ninth volume of this cheerful French medical comedy series from Bamboo Édition finds a thoroughly miserable doctor — feet soaking in a basin, visibly sneezing mid-consultation — facing an equally alarmed elderly patient clutching her shopping bag across a desk littered with medicines and tissues. By Bélom, Gégé, and Sirvent, this 2011 installment captures the series' signature blend of warm absurdity, where the line between physician and patient seems amusingly thin.
