Guust chronologisch #1

That close-cropped, larger-than-life face filling the cover — wide-eyed, slack-jawed, and unmistakably dopey — sets the perfect tone for this 2017 Dupuis collection gathering the earliest Gaston Lagaffe strips in chronological order. Subtitled Eerste Flaters ("First Blunders"), it promises exactly what the title suggests: the lovable, cigarette-dangling office disaster in his earliest misadventures. A delightful starting point for anyone wanting to experience Belgium's most gloriously incompetent office boy from the very beginning.
