Gaston #3-4

A treasured volume in the beloved Franco-Belgian Gaston series, this France Loisirs hardcover collects the gaffes and good-natured chaos of everyone's favorite office slacker. The cover — by Franquin and Jidéhem — captures Gaston tumbling helplessly down a grand staircase, records and miscellaneous objects flying every which way, while his little orange cat scrambles nearby in the mayhem. It's a perfectly distilled snapshot of why Gaston has charmed readers for generations: boundless good intentions, spectacularly bad results.
