About the series

A five-issue French comic series from France Loisirs, Kid Paddle ran from 2004 to 2009, collecting the misadventures of its titular video-game-obsessed young hero. The series is best known as the work of Belgian cartoonist Midam, whose vibrant, gag-a-page style made it a staple of Franco-Belgian humor comics. Its significance lies in capturing the early-2000s gaming culture with affectionate, slapstick energy, appealing to both kids and nostalgic adults.
