Let's jump into the festive spirit
 
Ho-ho-how is December zooming by so fast?

It’s almost Christmas, so we better jump into the festive spirit as quick as we can.

And what better way to get into the holiday mood than with a cold pint of beer? Luckily for us, Lucky Luke has a fine stock of this refreshing beverage in his newest album.

That’s sure to make Christmas even more fun. And you mustn’t forget to have fun, regardless of your age, and the guys from Les Vieux Fourneaux are living proof of that.

Don’t forget the decorations! But be careful not to put Petit Poilu on the tree instead of the ornaments. The poor fellow has already had enough trouble this season.

You got everything you need? Great!

Happy holidays! It’s been great working with you this year. Here’s to even more success in the new year!

It’s summer, and Montcoeur is as dry as a 49.3. The heatwave is so hot that you can even see the bottom of the Gibelette pond! Unheard of. However, the weather is not going to stop Sophie from organizing a party to celebrate the 60th anniversary of “Le Loup en slip”. It’s a chance to reminisce and dust off a few old photos. The “Loup en Slip” is a big deal around here.

Naturally, Pierrot made the trip, but was it the heat? It seems the old anarchist is having a crisis of faith when he arrives in the boondocks. Fresh off the bus, the radicalized members of La Chope bar found him in church, sanding his kneecaps under the cross. For the group, there’s no doubt about it: Pierrot is on the verge of going wild. Meanwhile, in the apple orchard, an octogenarian takes up MMA. We start to fear the worst, and rightly so.
