This series is humorous, self-deprecating and often charming. As a translator for some of Cinebook's other series, I have a vested interest in your response to the book, but aside from that . . . try it, you'll like it! :-) I hope you’ll give Lucky Luke a try.

I love this guy and his concept of comic narrative, expanding the possibilities of the medium itself at the same time that he provides a philosophical point of view about everyday life. And yes, Sfar and Trondheim are truly awesome. Recently they published Huizenga for the firt time here, in Spain, and it’s been a great revelation.

Alas. I think what really needs to be done with those is publish them in groups as Pantheon did Rabbi's Cat and First Second is doing the Sardines books. The Lapinot books grow in value as one reads more of them. As far as the Fantagraphics “McConey” books (I hate the name change), those two are, in my opinion, two of the worst of the series. Alas.

If they keep adding to the roster I'll have to renew my subscription. I hadn't been impressed in the beginning but it seems to be picking up steam. I like the idea of adding the Euro guys that maybe can't carry a book- I hate to say it but Fantag. did try with the McConey books but didn't seem to meet with much success- but can be used to add to the lustre of the series and force people to check it out. I'd like to pick up Curse but I think I have all of Huizenga's work in other places which I hate to admit because so far I've picked up everything he's done (that I've found anyway) and it's hard to find myself not getting this.
