“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

It's from the superb, two-tome series Through the Walls, by Jean-Luc Cornette & Stéphane Oiry.

So this is just a ramble, but in terms of the thumbnail, I really liked the transition between the 'dinner and the road' just above, plus the theme-shift from red to yellow to blue/green, again above.

Indeed, overall across the series I found that there were light, playful (yet somehow precise) touches everywhere. Almost like a chortling intelligence at work, just playing little sandbox games for us to enjoy, haha.

Whoops, and I'd completely forgotten about Stéphane Oiry in terms of his art projects. In fact, he's one of the two geniuses involved in perhaps my favorite GN of all time, i.e. Maggy Garrisson.

Alright, alright, let's read the story, chapitre deux:

Btw, the writer Cornette is another good one to follow. We should really get to more of his work, too.
