Die Missionen des Odilon Verjus

In this German-language series from Phoenix Michael Hug Verlag, the bumbling Belgian missionary Odilon Verjus stumbles through colonial-era Africa with more enthusiasm than competence. Co-written by Michael Hug and Yann, with consistently expressive art by Laurent Verron, the series blends slapstick humor with a gently satirical take on European imperialism. Though only a single issue has been published since 2000, the creative team's fondness for the character suggests a world with more stories to tell.
