Managing to escape- he arrives in the suburbs of Brussels and is taken in by François- a young boy who is a fan of animals and whose daily life is far from easy. François is picked on by the local kids- particularly because his father had been a German soldier- an unforgivable crime in those postwar years; a fact he and his mother cannot escape. Both are ostracized for their connection to past events. The authors pay a superb tribute to the fabulous animal created by Franquin in the series Spirou et Fantasio while denouncing the mistreatment and trafficking of exotic animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ONI PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42506581704766,"sku":"9781962413596","price":22.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/7683\/files\/173954-hr.jpg?v=1772031164","url":"https:\/\/goldenapplecomics.com\/products\/9781962413596","provider":"Golden Apple Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
