[introtext] => Comic book characters who lead mundane lives, with designs by Jordi Lafebre.
[content] => <p class="lead"><span class="dropcap" title="L-4">L</span>es Beaux Étés is a series of seven comic books (BD or <i>bandes dessinées</i> in French) featuring an ordinary family whose members work hard all year in order to pay for their summer holidays.
Pierre (R) and Mado (D) are the parents, with their children Julie-Jolie, Nicolas, Louis and Pépète appearing on the four Jacks (V).
They and their family car, a Renault 4Lm Rouge Esterel, are depicted on the Jokers.
There is repetition of design on the kings and queens, with merely a change of clothing colour on each suit. For the books, Zidrou (b.1962) provided the stories while Jordi Lafebre (b.1979) created the coloured images.</p>
