Gaston #21

The beloved Belgian office slacker Gaston is caught in full, unapologetic slumber at his cluttered desk — a half-eaten meal, scattered papers, and general chaos surrounding him as bold red and yellow "ZZZ" letters float above in signature Franquin style. Subtitled Ultimes Bévues ("Ultimate Blunders"), this 2017 Dupuis volume promises the irresistible blend of workplace mayhem and cheerful incompetence that has made Gaston one of Franco-Belgian comics' most endearing characters. It's a wonderfully fitting cover for a collection celebrating the art of doing absolutely nothing right.
