Silent Comics, Part 1
The easiest French comics to read would be the silent ones -- there's nothing to translate! As it happens, Lewis Trondheim wrote four of them that did get translated (!) about 15 years ago, and that's what this show is about: Li'l Santa, Mr. O, and Mr. I. They're all great books, and I'm going to explain why.
