    27. Comic Fun with Les Bandes Dessinées
    May 20 2021
    It's time to get your nerd on with this one because we're talking comic books. Specifically, comic books from France and Belgium. That sounds really specific, but these books -- known as les bandes dessinées -- gained popularity in the 1930s and have only gotten more popular over the decades...even though there was a little kerfuffle during the post-World War II period.
