Lagaffe

Lagaffe is the alter ego of Gaston Lagaffe, the famously work-shy, accident-prone office boy at a Belgian comics publisher whose elaborate schemes, bizarre inventions, and spectacular blunders cause endless chaos for his long-suffering colleagues.

A lovable fixture of the Dupuis universe, Lagaffe made their debut in the Silver Age pages of Gaston #1 in 1966, brought to life by the legendary creative team of Franquin and Jidéhem. Sharing adventures in the hallowed pages of Spirou alongside the likes of Léon Prunelle, Spirou, and Boule, this character inhabits one of Franco-Belgian comics' most cherished corners. Though the catalog run is compact, appearing in two of Dupuis' most beloved series gives Lagaffe a genuine place in the heart of that era's rich storytelling tradition — a character worth seeking out for any fan eager to explore the Silver Age beyond the English-language mainstream.
