“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

For posting tips, including how to handle NSFW and personal content, see the FAQ below.

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French. When posting foreign-language content, please DO include helpful context for English-speakers.

You can tell it´s accurate if you compare it with the results of tensile testing done in engineering:

So it stretched according to known tensile physics, then naturally found the weakest point, is it not? Is that actually from one of the albums..? oO

It´s from volume one, page forty/fortyone, depending on the edition. The constriction of the weak spots before breaking is nicely visible in the second picture. Please also appreciate how in the third picture, the puling force results in the broken endings of the ring, being not only pulled apart but also to the outside by the resulting force vectors. Here is the full sequence, with the fourth panel showing the realistic deformation of the ring after breaking and then being pulled apart by the acting force:
