The big one is Cornelius Chesterfield, a zealous and disciplined sergeant of the United States' North Army. The little one is Blutch, a malignant and disillusioned grudger who dreams only of deserting. Cauvin and Lambil do what they can to escape the troubles they have with bounded leaders, aberrant orders and a defiant destiny... Through stories full of laughter and action, Lambil offer us a sharp critique of the absurdities of war and obtuse militarism.
