Papy

Papy is a grandfatherly character in the Belgian Dupuis series Toupet, where he forms part of a warm family ensemble alongside characters such as Toupet, Germaine, and Coraline in slice-of-life, character-driven stories.

A grandfatherly figure who stepped onto the pages of Dupuis' Toupet in 1996, Papy was brought to life by the creative team of Christian Godard and Albert Blesteau during the Modern Age of comics. Over a run stretching into the 2000s, he keeps lively company with the likes of Toupet, Germaine, Coraline, and the rest of a warm ensemble cast that gives this Belgian series its distinctive family charm. A character whose appeal lives in the intimate, character-driven storytelling that Dupuis does so well — well worth a look for fans of Franco-Belgian comics with heart.
