Haaa! Return to earth , this comedy series major of the years 2000, its perfume of nature reviving, his gags are full of tenderness, and its protrusions ironic that say more about the time that a treaty sociological. The pleasure remains intact, so we were happy to find this little family of characters well chewed.

You want to say in the campaign?» And the boss of the meet, breaking up: «Break Philippe.» The odyssey begins for the poor editor… It will be filled with challenges and laughs that are unexpected.
As to Madame Mortemont, it is the heroin of this album. Ferri and Larcenet had a lot of fun with this shrew gothic, in the rewarding of a smartphone or tablet (over the pages, the device does not cease to swell). With this object of modernity placed in his hands, the old peasant woman falsely cantankerous, but really connected, makes a jump into the future also mind-boggling that bidonnant. She discovered texting, Internet, remote control, and the search engines…
We as players have no need to go far in search of laughter: it is nestled in the corner of each page. Larcenet and Ferri add a pinch of nostalgia in addition to which makes it even more endearing…
