The Spiffy Adventures of McConey

The Spiffy Adventures of McConey (Les formidables aventures de Lapinot in the original French language) is a Franco-Belgian comic series by the popular French cartoonist Lewis Trondheim. It debuted in 1992.[1]

The series mixes satire and fantasy. The main characters are all animals: for instance McConey (Lapinot) is a shy and easygoing rabbit, while Richard is an engaging cat with a loud mouth and a knack for getting into trouble.

The stories alternate between modern France and stock historical settings. The recurring characters in the series can be thought of as actors who don't always play the same people, but always play the same type of roles. The series is generally unpredictable: each book is different in terms of pace, plot, theme, etc.

Out of the ten official volumes of the series, only two have been translated in English.

gollark: Then I noticed that they had merged patches a lot from the repo for a similar wireless chip, so I decided to just try and merge the "kernel 5.10 compatibility" thing from that, which had not made it in yet.

gollark: There was a repo on GitHub for doing that with it, but `insmod`ing it after compiling *somehow* hung my kernel so I had to reboot.

gollark: I mean, possibly. I wanted to get my USB WiFi thing to work in monitor mode for testing for non-evil purposes, but it was just really bad to do so.

gollark: I am now declaring wireless drivers an enemy of mankind.

gollark: Also vehicles of some kind. These conglomerates make tons of things.
