Just like the latter, it is a fantasy comic about anthropomorphic animals in a forest setting. However, here the protagonist is a female mouse named Sibylline. Concept Sibylline is a female mouse who lives in the forest ''Bosquet Jojeux'', which is an anthropomorphic version of real city life. Much like ''Chlorophylle'' the stories appear to be a cartoon animal fantasy strip, but in fact have a darker, satirical edge. As the series progressed more fantastical elements started to occur, such as ghosts, wizards and vampires. Characters * Sibylline: The star of the series. She is a gentle, clever and brave female mouse, but can be jealous and hot-headed. Originally she lived in a house, but later she moved to the forest. She wears a yellow bonnet and a blue dress. * Taboum: Her dim-witted husband, who is very clumsy and a male version of the damsel in distress. Just ...
