Mooie navels #1

The first volume of Mooie Navels arrives with a burst of bubbly energy from Delaf, whose cover sets the scene in a school locker room where three very different teenage girls — a preppy redhead with a satchel, a confident dark-haired girl showing off her midriff, and a lanky, wide-eyed blonde — are clearly sizing each other up. Published by Dupuis in 2007, this Dutch-language series kicks off with the story "Wie denk je dat je bent?" ("Who do you think you are?"), a title that perfectly captures the lively clash of personalities on display. Delaf's expressive, cartoon style promises a fun, character-driven look at teenage social dynamics that's hard to resist.
