Gomer is a genius and a walking hazard - it is known. But often overlooked is how he's far from the only one. In his daily efforts at subverting the professional world, he's often accompanied by his menagerie - trickster cat, temperamental gull, voracious mouse and even, on occasion, a goldfish - and his brothers in laziness and silly ideas, Jules and Bertie. Not to mention, sometimes, complete strangers instantly won over by his eagerness and imagination. Much to the chagrin of various authority figures!
A Belgian cartoonist from the Golden Age of comics, Andr Franquin was as important and influential throughout his career as Herg, moulding and training dozens of artists through his long years at Spiroumagazine. In his 20 years at the helm of Spirou and Fantasio, creator of their fantastical friend the Marsupilami, he was also the father of one of the most beloved anti-heroes of European comics, Gaston Lagaffe, as well as the delightfully dark and sarcastic Ides Noires. As a sign of his popularity, he received the very first Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulme in 1974.
