Heh, yet another one of those Gaston LaGaffe books translated into English and dumped onto a market which I'm sure could care less. As with the other volumes I reviewed two years back these tales might not be for the standard Amerigan comic fan what with the stringently European style and humor which doesn't translate as well as one might wish, but I gotta admit to enjoying the finely detailed artwork and trying to make sense of the jokes which, at times, I doubt were even that funny even in their native tongue.
Frankly I wouldn't mind seeing some of those early SPIROU ET FANTASIO comics where the Gaston/Gomer's come to a quicker conclusion, but as far as I can tell those were never deciphered into a language us normil people can understand. Maybe inna future these'll make their way into the realm of Amerigan comic collections, if any of us are alive or still care by the time they do.
Looks interesting!

Is the art on front taken from a story inside, or, God help us, it's supposed to be a cover gag? Either way, I have no idea what I'm looking at.
ReplyDeleteIts' a stand alone gag. Well, I dunno about "gag"...
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteTop Cat, to be more precise about the cover, Gaston/Gomer is playing his Gaffeophone, a harp which has such sonic-shattering powers that it destroys matter within miles. This was a running gag in the comic which non-fans definitely would not know about hence the confusion some would have. If you're interested, there are Gaston Gaffe animated cartoons on Youtube that were made by the same people who did those Peanuts shorts that can be seen on Boomerang, or at least were seen last time I looked ages back.
