   Télé au Royaume des Ombres / Olivia Clavel. -- Paris : Les
   Humanoïdes Associés, 1983. -- 50 p. : ill. ; 33 cm. -- (Les
   Aventures de Télé) -- (Collection Pied Jaloux) -- Summary:
   Télé awakes to a power failure with only his/her shadow for
   company. Télé follows a parade of prehistoric looking,
   Genet-quoting animal monsters, which joins a group of women
   truckdrivers and their trucks. A mysterious bodiless shadow
   is also following the parade. Télé is captured by the
   kamioneuses (or camioneuses). The truckdrivers are then set
   upon by a rival gang, the précieuses (or gracieuses), who
   drive smaller cars. While trying to escape in the confusion
   with a Proust-quoting monster, Télé is captured by the new
   gang, but freed by a kiss from the mysterious shadow. Télé
   flees with the monsters, pursued by both gangs while the
   city begins to flood. The monsters (quoting Robert Desnos)
   and Télé make it to a market in the suburbs for a good meal
   underwater, chewing their literature. The kamioneuses
   refuel and have a beer. Most of the rest of the story is
   underwater, with fish going by. Télé is captured by a band
   of rockeuses (or rockettes), and the animals flee. Both the
   kamioneuses and the gracieuses see the animals without
   Télé, and the camioneuses soon attack the rockettes, trying
   to retrieve Télé. The rockettes escape on their Vespas with
   a wounded Télé. Télé is left in the care of Garance, the
   dauphine of the rockettes, who wants to stay home and read
   comics anyhow. Her pile of comics includes Popeye, Spirou,
   Tintin and The Spirit. Garance takes Télé on a flying
   scooter ride, and they visit the Fairy of Domesticity. The
   fairy hooks Télé up to a futuramama machine and makes
   predictions. Télé's shadow asks the fairy's shadow about
   the mysterious shadow. The fairy makes a pay phone ring
   where the shadow is and she (with the animals quoting
   Robert Desnos again) is reunited with Télé's shadow. Télé
   leaves, with the animals quoting Charles Baudelaire and
   Arthur Rimbaud, to find the shadow's body. The three gangs
   declare peace. While Télé is still searching, the animals
   quote Lou Reed & Philip K. Dick. Climbing above the water,
   Télé finds his/her true love stuck in another dimension,
   but crashes through to a happy ending. -- Lesbian
