Robert Bidochon

Robert Bidochon is the everyman protagonist of the French comic series Les Bidochon, a bumbling, ordinary working-class French husband navigating mundane suburban life alongside his wife Raymonde. Together they embody the humorous frustrations and absurdities of everyday French middle-class existence.

Robert Bidochon stepped onto the page in 1978 — right in the heart of the Bronze Age — when creator Binet introduced him in Kador #1, and he's been a fixture of French-language comics ever since. As a central figure in the long-running Les Bidochon series, Robert spent over three decades sharing his world with the likes of Raymonde Bidochon, Kador, Gisèle, and René, making him part of one of the most enduring ensemble casts in European comics. Published by Audie across a remarkable 34-year span stretching all the way to 2012, his longevity alone speaks to the affection readers brought to these pages again and again. For fans of Franco-Belgian comics and the slice-of-life tradition, Robert Bidochon is an absolute essential.
