Les Pieds Nickelés
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les Pieds Nickelés (French for "The nickel plated feet") is a French comic series, originally created by Louis Forton. The comic premiered on June 4, 1908 in the newspaper L'Épatant, published by Société Parisienne d'Édition.[1] It is considered to be one of the earliest French comics[2] and one of the longest-running.[3] It centers on a group of anarchist youth getting in trouble.[4] In French informal speech of the early twentieth century, "nickel-plated feet" was a moniker for slackers, work-shy people.
