(2) K-3 Translated by Françoise Mouly. Illustrated by Philippe Coudray. A twin-brother team supplies "everything you never, ever asked about penguins!" The comic's horizontal trim size allows for four-panel spreads; young emperor penguins hang out on the edges, providing narration and asking and answering silly questions in a kinda-sorta informational fashion. Philippe Coudray's crisp illustrations are rendered in a cool palette, matching the frigid setting. Back matter provides "100% genuine, real facts."

(2) K-3 Toon Book series. Translated by Françoise Mouly. Benjamin Bear returns for a third round of humorously bizarre mini-sagas. As before, each page contains a stand-alone comic strip featuring Benjamin's decidedly fuzzy logic. Coudray uses visuals effectively to consistently get laughs (many of the strips are completely wordless). The quirky animal characters are depicted in Coudray's bug-eyed yet deadpan style, making each critter the perfect straight-man for all those sight gags.
