    Yeah, don’t try this one in french then. The comic is extremely loquacious (it’s a stylistic choice, which work very well for me), and even native French speakers often miss wordplays, or find the style difficult to understand (sentences can become quite convoluted for the sake of a pun).

    To be honest, albums are fairly unequal : some of them are downright classics, some of them are quite forgettable.

    If you want an idea of the stuff, I found this translation of one here, which should give you an idea of what the short strips ones look like. Even I remember this one being better in french.

      Hey, thanks! I’m not usually a fan of the gag stuff, but this looks pretty fun.

      I should be able to get a hold of Magnesia’s Treasure, so I’ll give that a read.
