The story of chicken in love with a panther.

As in the first volume, the album begins in Paris in 1944 under the same Allied bombing where Aimé Louzeau, the "hero" of the Mondaine, accompanied by a German officer and two girls will taunt bombs declaiming of Prévert Trenet singing and whistling of champagne. One of the girls asked Aimé if it is part of the good guys or bad guys? "Wicked nice!" Meets the inspector.

Back in 1942 when the French police girlfriend with German organizing "Le Tour Des Docks", a cycle race celebrates the Franco-German friendship. This cooperation cyclist found its apogee in Vel D'Hiv in July 1942 ...

Meanwhile, the Beloved family life also takes a dramatic turn, when her thoughts always go to the "Tahitian Panther", pretty stripper met before the war and he has no news.

In this second volume, the record meets the great. But the authors show a very great restraint and a huge economy of means: the scenes of the Vel D'Hiv roundup are very poignant while being of a biblical simplicity (personal clarification: we remember the extreme effectiveness of IBM American company that provided the Nazis the computer system of punch cards for the remarkable efficiency of ethnic gatherings performed mainly by the French police).

The characters are always very successful, the sinuous scenario shows the characteristics of this paradoxical period in the history of France (at a time, the listening Beloved father "They call me Dopey" period of a song Southern comedian who liked to eat at the Kommandantur of Paris). The designs and colors are just beautiful.

This diptych of La Mondaine is just a small masterpiece.
