When Gomer isn't unwittingly sabotaging all work at Spirou Magazine, he naps at his desk and dreams of being a handsome, fearless action hero for Miss Jeanne - not realising that this is already how she sees him! But outside the office, out in the city streets, well, that's Officer Longsnoot's territory, and between him and Gomer - and most importantly Gomer's often apocalyptically tweaked car - a merciless war of nerves is waged every day!
A Belgian cartoonist from the Golden Age of comics, AndrFranquin 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, GastonLagaffe, 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.
