About the series
A sly, sharp-edged French-Belgian comedy series from Dupuis, Les Nombrils (2010–2016) runs for only two issues, yet packs a caustic punch. The series skewers adolescent social dynamics with a merciless eye, centering on a trio of teenage girls whose friendship is a battlefield of vanity, cruelty, and insecurity. Created by the writer Delaf and the artist Maryse Dubuc, it stands as a brief but memorable dissection of mean-girl culture, notable for its refusal to soften its unflattering portrait of youth.
