“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^
* BD = "Bandes dessinées"

Above we have a mischievous little "marsu," directing today's parade. Do we know where we're headed, exactly? (Franquin)
René Hausman
Morris!
Mézières
And once again, Franquin.
Fun fact: elephants, along with crows, dolphins, parrots, octopuses, whales, and we naked apes are considered the smartest, cleverest animals on the planet by the body of science.
Elephants even have funerals, graveyards, and go in to mourning for the loss of their loved ones.
What a cool parade! I had no idea the Marsupilami ever went to Africa. The Lucky Lucky piece is super funny. The Mézières piece has a beautiful atmosphere. I appreciate the anatomical correctness in Franquin´s elephants a lot.
By the way, in my opinion human rights should be extended to include the animals you listed and also the hairy apes.
Same. I'm super-impressed with artists who can seemingly cover the whole spectrum, from goofy-cartoony to beautiful LC to impressive realism. Then to 'blend those qualities all together' is just... makes me speechless sometimes. I find part of the reason I like Euro comics so much is because many of the greats, like Franquin, had such an ability.
In manga for example I find it mostly the opposite. They tend to be routinely technical and rarely goofy-cartoony in any interesting sense. Osamu Tezuka is the great outlier, I think.
I feel much the same.
