Graphic story.

In french, "Bébête" has a double signification, meaning "animal" but also "silly". And such is the case here with these strangely human animals (or is it strangely animal humans?) The cuckoo goes into another bird’s apartement, throws the bird’s kids by the window and replaces them with his own. Like a cuckoo does! Just one of the stories offered here in a hard and beautifuly drawned vision of the world of animals.
