Les Nombrils

Maryse Dubuc and Delaf’s Les Nombrils (2006–2018, Dupuis) is a sharp, eight-issue French-Belgian comedy series that skewers the social obsessions of teenage girls with a knowing, gently satirical eye. Dubuc’s dialogue and Delaf’s expressive, clean-line art create a cast of hilariously self-absorbed characters navigating friendship, status, and awkward crushes. Its enduring appeal lies in how it balances broad humor with surprisingly relatable moments, making it a distinctive voice in European comics for young adults.
