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 Gaston/Gomer's about stymieing various attempts at the story coming 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.
