Le Sapeur Camember

For over a century, Le Sapeur Camember has been a fixture of French humor, originally published by Armand Colin in 1896. This single-issue comic follows the misadventures of a bumbling army sapper, created by an early master of the comic strip. Its enduring place in history comes from being one of the first French comics to use speech balloons, marking a foundational moment in the medium's development.
