"BÉCASSINE"
 |
France is above all the home of comic strips, and “Bécassine” is one of them. The naïve, ignorant young girl comes to Paris to be a maid in the middle-class households where she time and again commits blunders because of the culture clash. Since 1905 she has accompanied the French through thick and thin. In 2005 her 100th anniversary was celebrated. “Bécassine” therefore belongs among the French institutions whose acquaintance I made during my French studies. |
