	TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: "Dungeon"s and Ducks
		Sfar and Trondheim's peculiar universe includes anthropomorphic animals, such as the clan of impolite rabbits who sit around the pub all day, mixed with monsters both familiar, like orcs, and new, like the Bermaw, a cute blob of meat that will jump down your gullet and expand until you burst.
		Sfar and Trondheim both belong to the new generation of French comic artists that include the likes of David B., author of "Epileptic".
		Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim's "Dungeon" has all it takes to be as big here as in Europe — except maybe the support of a broad, comix-reading audience.

		Sfar's artwork looks as mangy and unkempt as the cat, with contorted figures and scribbly lines everywhere, but there's a poetic magic to it that perfectly captures this cat's-eye view of human culture and faith.
		Sfar is predominantly known in this country for his Little Vampire childrens series (S and S), and the drawings have the colorful, cartoon quality of those works while still fitting the sophistication of these.
		Sfar is highly praised in France; heres hoping more of his creations are translated.

	The Comics Reporter
		ActuaBD.com weighs in on Joann Sfar's criticisms of this year's broadly-chosen Angouleme Festival prize nominees with an article that basically upholds the Festival's choices while allowing that Sfar is playing his proper role to the hilt in making his comments.
		The fact that someone would stop and correct Sfar on a date or two indicates to me there's some real passion behind the conflict, although whether it's the kind that evaporates once the festival hits I'm not informed enough to say.
		The article links to another piece that I think may have Jean-Christophe Menu calling a comics critic a pig and a BD magazine a rag, but my French is bad enough I'm not exactly sure what the hell that's about or how it relates.

		But none of this is any protection against the more mundane realities of being a newly single guy stuck forever in that period of new adulthood when hormones meet emotions and confusion results.
		Ferdinand's exploits, as detailed by award-winning French artist Sfar (Little Vampire Goes to School, The Rabbi's Cat), read like a classic slacker tale—when he isn't sleeping in his coffin, Ferdinand carries his favorite records around in a messenger bag.
		As usual, Sfar's artwork is effortlessly charming, filled with classically stylish ink hatching and lettering, for a story that is funny and unpredictable.

		The second volume of this popular French adventure series offers more of the lighthearted, goofy adventures that fans have become accustomed to from Sfar and Trondheim.

		Joann Sfar, a renowned French comic artist, draws what should be unappealing characters but manages to elevate them through his use of colors and backgrounds.
		Both dream and night sequences provide distinct color tinting that still gives full illumination for each panel, but eerily alters presentation.
		The inside panel of the dust jacket (which differs from the book cover) features a picture of Sfar with his cat that bears a striking resemblance to the main character.
