For Halloween, the small band of Quiquoi is found. Pétole is disguised as a witch, Boulard as a ghost, Mixo as a leek because there were no more pumpkins in the store, Raoul made himself a mask out of a slice of ham because that’s all he found in his fridge. As for the candy harvest, it’s not terrible. So bad that, for lack of treats, Pamela was offered a ping-pong table. Therefore, how to ensure a provided collection? By going to Ireland, homeland of Halloween, of course!
Except no. As soon as the balloon-pumpkin journey has begun, the machine gets caught in a tree, the fault of this huge ping-pong table which Pamela refuses to part with. No big deal, to get in the mood, Olive grows pumpkins by drawing seeds and a watering can. A huge plant emerges from the ground, well furnished. But now a green monster, not at all disguised, appears, ready to devour Raoul’s ham mask and kidnap Mixo in order to make a leek soup for his boss, a red-haired boy whose teeth are almost all down from too much candy, but who loves triangle sandwiches.
We walk on the head ? A little. And that’s what’s great about the Quiquois and the true history of Halloween (roughly). It goes in all directions while being perfectly coherent in the madness. The group of friends, a mixture of humans and animals, connects scenes and exchanges a bit surreal without finding fault, in a tongue-in-cheek atmosphere. The good news ? There are seven other adventures, in comics, of the Quiquois.
