We’ve all played that game. ‘Well, if I were in charge...’ We’ve all imagined what we’d do if we were president of this or minister of that. For Iznogoud, though, it’s not just a game. As Grand Vizier, he can pretty much decide that he will be anything he wants to ... except Caliph, of course. But, since it’s Iznogoud, every single one of his decisions is inevitably going to go astray and bring disaster – and that’s how we like it!
I tend to like Iznogoud and the artwork, even if my funnybone is not working. Same gags and visual humour here but the thing that struck me straight away was that the pages seemed to be over enlarged...say, like when you draw in A5 but then enlarge to A3 and it looks very noticeable. It should NOT detract from the contents it's just something I notice. I'm odd.
There are some nice commentaries in the jokes about 1970s politics in France -do not fear because at the start of the book the few gags are explained so you understand them. Still funny.
Of course Iznogoud is good.
