Paulot #3

From French publisher Editions du Zebu, this third Paulot adventure — Y'a comme un souci ! — wears its dark satirical wit right on the cover. Carali's illustration drops a hapless group of journalists and a heavily armed local guide (complete with bandoliers and small children in tow) into a sun-baked desert landscape, with a punchline speech bubble that lands perfectly: the women walk ahead not out of tradition, but because the ground is mined. It's the kind of sharp, uncomfortable humor that defines the series, delivered with Carali's loose, expressive linework and a gift for finding absurdity in genuinely tense situations.
