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.

Belgian Comics
Belgian comics are a distinct subgroup in the comics history, and played a major role in the development of European comics, alongside France with whom they share a long common history. While the comics in the two major language groups and regions of Belgium (Flanders with the Dutch language and Wallonia with French) each have clearly distinct characteristics, they are constantly influencing one another, and meeting each other in Brussels and in the bilingual publication tradition of the major editors. As one of the few arts where Belgium has had an international and enduring impact in the 20th century, comics are known to be "an integral part of Belgian culture". History Before 1940 The first large-scale production of comics in Belgium started in the second half of the 1920s. Earlier, illustrated youth pages were still very similar to the '' Images d'Épinal'' and the Flemish equivalent, the '' Mannekensbladen''. The comics that were available came from France and were mostly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
