Gaston #16

Volume 16 of Franquin's beloved Gaston series, Gaffes, Bévues et Boulettes, delivers another helping of the lovable office slacker's trademark chaos. The cover says it all: Gaston peeks sheepishly around a tree, his mischievous black cat clinging to the trunk above him, while a red-haired young woman stands nearby with an exasperated — or perhaps amused — expression, a small white creature scrambling away at her feet. Published by Dupuis in 2017, this album is a delightful reminder of why Gaston Lagaffe and his gift for blundering have charmed readers across generations.
