In a seemingly inexhaustible parade of awesomely all-ages comics originating from French-persons, here comes the "Sardine in Outer Space" Series, by Emmanuel Guibert and Joann Sfar.
What is with the preponderance of excellence that is comix creation from France? Is it the wine? The cafes? The Folies Bergère? The cultural support and respect given to the advancement and continued innovation of the comics and illustration media and of its creators? Ah, maybe that one. That one sounds nice.
Anyway, this is a silly, slap-sticky, rollicking adventure series following the travels of a space-pirate girl named Sardine, her uncle Captain Yellow Shoulder, and her cousin Li'l Louie, along with a crew of buccaneer aliens, and recurring bumbling villains. I've started the series with the # 5 Collection, here, and it makes me smile. Sardine is the one with the cat in her hat.
