In the Netherlands he is known as Guust Flater, in French as Gaston…Guust being a part of a bigger Dupuis ‘universe’
Gaston Lagaffe! Woof, what a shot of nostalgia. Don't think I've seen one of those strips since high school

The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Hergé, the father of Tintin: “Next to him ( Franquin) I am but a poor illustrator”
Franquin took the comic to art level. The way he was able to draw movement has no equal, for example.
If you want to have your mind blown, read the “Ideés Noires”, an adult oriented strip, black on white, (hence the ñame), created while he was under severe depression. I think Goya would have approved.
Can’t find anything Dutch from his Ideés Noir, but it really sucks I learn now he suffered severe depression. I known how it feels like, unsafe childhood.
Guust is far gone from this one…
Wasn't he same behind Spirou also?
I think I've read most of the volumes back when I was a kid. And this page doesn't do it justice. Even the meta jokes are awesome (it takes place in the same publishers office where the comic was actually made)
