Louisette la taupe #4

Published by Casterman in 2008 as part of their MiniBD line, this fourth volume of Louisette la taupe brings the mischievous little mole together with a raccoon — "et un raton laveur!" — promising a lively new pairing. Bruno Heitz's cover sets the cheerful tone perfectly: a wide-eyed raccoon peeks out of a bulging green bag surrounded by scattered books and art supplies, while Louisette herself appears in a small vignette at the top, spoon in hand. Bright yellow backgrounds, bold lettering, and Heitz's appealingly loose linework make this an instantly welcoming read for younger comics fans.
