I feel like historically french and belgium comic has a lot to do with caricature.

I remember reading a lot of comic where every character was actually ugly. The only exceptions were tintin and blake et mortimer (from my childhood comic selection obviously)

Not caricature. More like … realistic? Characters have flaws, like in the real worlds. Their body are tired and they experience real human emotions. It’s just more adult in general

In the topo magazine yes, it has a more realistic style, but still I feel like history is very different from manga, and it still have influence even on those realistic style sometime.

Like all comics like achille talon, asterix obelix, gaston lagaffe, boule et bill, cedric... Every character is exaggerated and not in flattering manner.

Oh, sorry.

I had adult graphic novel from the 2000’s onward in mind.

Etienne Davodeau & consorts for instance.”Les mauvaises gens”
