Papa Sirène et Karaté Gérald

A charming and offbeat French comic from Éditions Lapin, Papa Sirène et Karaté Gérald launched in 2012 with a single issue that blends whimsical aquatic fantasy with unexpected martial-arts comedy. The series is built around its titular duo—a mermaid father and his karate-practicing friend—whose unlikely adventures showcase the publisher’s taste for playful, character-driven storytelling. While brief in its run, the book stands as a quirky, warm-hearted example of contemporary independent European comics.
