another excellent french graphic novel, in a similar vein:

gross ice mismanagment can lead to this kind of phenomenon, but it is rare- only saw it in jersey, and only once.

i know... these guys are not the mongels, riding in on horseback. they’ve been using airplanes for at least 50 years, and they’re currently perfecting submarine technology. additionally, their tunnels are legendary.
