Gaston #6

Volume 6 of Dupuis' beloved Gaston series finds everyone's favorite accident-prone office slacker in characteristically absurd trouble — the cover shows Gaston gamely trying to hail a taxi while barely keeping control of an enormous red balloon nearly as big as he is. It's a perfectly deadpan image that captures the gentle, cheerful chaos Franquin, Jidéhem, and Delporte brought to every page of this long-running Franco-Belgian gem. Les Gaffes d'un Gars Gonflé delivers another collection of the irresistible blunders that have made Gaston one of comics' most enduring comic creations.
