A schoolboy tries to cope with his parent's trial separation and win over the girl of his dreams.
Irreverent schoolboy Titeuf is the comic creation of Zep, aka Swiss cartoonist Philippe Chappuis. A huge hit in Francophone countries - 10 out of the 12 bestselling cartoon albums in France last year, concerned him - those not familar with the 10-year-old's adventures need only imagine Bart Simpson's, slightly more sweary, considerably more scatalogical Gallic cousin to be pretty close.
And so, after blazing a trail to the hearts - or at least to the belching muscle - of...
