I used to read those albums when I was a kid, I’m pretty sure it’s where I learned the word gibbeux actually!
🙂
I'm a late middle-aged man, but still can't remember the specific moon-meaning of "gibbous" unless I look up a chart, dammit. I don't imagine it's otherwise used much in French nor English, these days.
Anyway, I want to say that this 70's - 80's series holds up surprisingly well compared to similar fare from that era. I also like the idea that the protagonist is a little girl placed in to surreal situations, as I'm a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland.
« La Traboule de la Géhenne » is also a very mysterious title when you’re a kid whose vocabulary is still a bit lacking.
Haha, I recognised "Gehenna" (sort of a Jewish hell) from my days playing D&D back in the 80's, but with my A2-level French, I had to look up "traboule." I feel like there are a million similar words in French for "passage," but I guess that's the way things go, sometimes.
