Gaston #9

Franquin's beloved disaster-prone office boy is in fine form on this vivid cover, where Gaston finds himself clinging to what appears to be a jet engine — feathers flying and shoe flung loose — while a commercial airliner glides serenely in the background, blissfully unaware. The title Un Gaffeur Sachant Gaffer ("A Blunderer Who Knows How to Blunder") perfectly captures the cheerful chaos that defines this Dupuis series. A delightful 2017 edition for anyone who loves their comedy served with aeronautical peril.
