Ducky Coco

Ducky Coco – 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 wilds of the West, drinks in sticky saloons and, along the way, delivers a few bandits to tired and mustachioed sheriffs. In short, nothing has changed in the good old Wild West… except, perhaps, this bar owner who likes contemporary art, this horse who cheats at cards or this revolver which is also used to brushing your teeth — practical! Anouk Ricard’s zany humor works wonders to dynamite the codes of the genre. Mixing short stories and one-page gags, this book brings together everything we love about Anouk Ricard and westerns: beer without fake alcohol, bizarre characters, wide open spaces and jokes that come without warning. Certainly, Ducky Coco is the only cowboy in this story, but Anouk Ricard is second to none when it comes to disarming the outlaws. If you don’t like “absurd” or “offbeat” humor, Foreigner, move on.
