I’ve just spent far too long pouring over these wonderfully executed jam comics from some of the French comics community’s finest members. Championnat de bras de fer (Championship Arm Wrestling, or arms of iron literally), pits the artists against each other in arm wrestling bouts that turn the collaborative art of jam comics into an all-out bloodsport.

The tournament-style jam is in its second stage of duels, and the entire thing features some of of the world’s best cartoonists such as Lewis Trondheim, Dupuy and Berberian, and Frederik Peeters to name a few. And if you don’t speak French, not to worry — the cartooning here is so expressive and creative, that most if not all of these work entirely as pantomime strips. I can’t wait for the next round.
