Het liefdesleven van de Vubara

Claire Bretécher, celebrated for her sharp satirical eye, both writes and draws this Dutch-language series from Espee/Het Spectrum, launched in 1981. The single issue explores the romantic entanglements of the Vubara, a character type Bretécher co-created with Monique Raebel. A concise, character-driven comedy of manners, it stands as a minor but telling example of Bretécher’s incisive social observation in a European comic format.
