In-4 hardback, boards illustrated in color. 1991 first edition for this twenty-third collection of the antics of young Boule and his inseparable cocker spaniel Bill, created by Jean Roba. Faithful to the spirit of the series born in the pages of Spirou, this album compiles one-page gags featuring the mischievous complicity between the child, his dog, his parents and Caroline the tortoise. Roba's talent shines through here, with rounded lines and a perfect mastery of animal and childlike expressions. This volume is part of the author's mature period, offering the tender, family-friendly and universal humor that has made Boule & Bill one of the essential pillars of Franco-Belgian comics.
