Billy and Buddy Vol 8: Fetch and Carry On

Playing fetch is one of the favourite activities of dog owners everywhere, but with a pooch like Buddy, it doesn't take long to become … complicated. After all, a cocker spaniel who brings back lost toys by the dozen and refuses to give up until he's found the right one is far from commonplace. For Billy and his parents, though, it's same old same old, and they wouldn't change their dear Buddy for the world – even when he causes chaos!

Christophe Cazenove jokingly describes himself as a ‘frustrated comic artist' – in another words, a scriptwriter. He penned numerous humour series and one-page gags collections. Jean Bastide received his first award at the Angouleme Festival at 21, before he even completed his art studies in Brussels. He illustrated the sequel to the famous Sambre series before taking over Billy & Buddy from Laurent Verron.
