Ducky Coco isn't just a duck: he's a real cowboy. On his faithful
nag, Guiguite, Ducky does what a real cowboy does: he travels the
wild expanses of the West, quenches his thirst in sticky saloons and,
passage, delivers a few bandits to tired, mustachioed sheriffs. In short, nothing
has changed in this good old Wild West... except, perhaps, this bartender
bar that loves contemporary art, this horse that cheats at cards or this
revolver that also serves to brush teeth - practical! The wacky humor
by Anouk Ricard works wonders in dynamiting the codes of the genre. Mixing
Short stories and gags in one page, this book brings together everything we love
at Anouk Ricard and in westerns: beer without a false collar,
wacky characters, wide open spaces and jokes that come without shouting
station. Sure, Ducky Coco is the only cowboy in this story, but Anouk
Ricard has no equal when it comes to unseating outlaws. If you don't like
"absurd" or "offbeat" humor, Foreigner, move on.
