Anna & Froga

Over five whimsical issues from Drawn & Quarterly (2012–2016), Anna & Froga pairs a young girl with her irreverent frog companion in a series of sly, offbeat adventures. Writer-artist Anouk Ricard, with translator Helge Dascher, crafts a playful world where everyday childhood moments twist into dry, absurd humor. The strip’s charm lies in its deadpan tone and expressive, minimal art—a quiet gem of European-influenced comics that delights in the strange logic of friendship.
