Odyssée de Pataud et de son chien Fricot

A charmingly simple one-issue comic from 1877, published by Hetzel, Odyssée de Pataud et de son chien Fricot is a whimsical, single-serving adventure created entirely by the prolific caricaturist and illustrator Cham. It traces the travels of a man and his dog with the light, playful touch that defined Cham's work for a 19th-century audience. While a brief entry, it stands as a quiet artifact of early French comic storytelling, capturing the era's taste for humorous, illustrated journeys.
