L'inspecteur Bouffarde

Maurice Rosy, a celebrated figure from the golden age of Franco-Belgian comics, launched this one-shot detective spoof in 2008 through Le Coffre à BD. The series follows the bumbling Inspector Bouffarde, a pipe-smoking sleuth whose ineptitude provides the core of its gentle, absurdist humor. Rosy, best known for his work on Spirou et Fantasio and Les Tuniques Bleues, brings his signature wit and clean ligne claire style to this self-contained, playful mystery.
