Gaston

André Franquin's beloved gag-a-day strip, Gaston (1987–1995), published by J'ai lu, collects the misadventures of the titular, perpetually laid-back office worker at the Spirou magazine offices. Over 17 issues, Franquin, often with Jidéhem, chronicles Gaston's uniquely creative brand of chaos, from disastrous inventions to inspired procrastination. This series gathers the classic, nearly wordless humor that made Gaston a cornerstone of Franco-Belgian comics, celebrating the gentle anarchy of a character who never quite gets fired.
