Nelson #12

The twelfth volume of Bertschy's cheerful French-language series finds its irrepressible little devil-tailed protagonist at the center of attention — literally — as a ring of accusing fingers all point squarely at a grinning Nelson, who looks utterly delighted by the whole situation. The title Forcément Coupable ("Bound to Be Guilty") says it all: even surrounded by blame, Nelson's wide smile suggests he wouldn't have it any other way. Published by Dupuis in 2012, this installment promises the same irreverent, good-natured mischief that has made the series such a fun read for younger audiences and adults alike.
