M. Rectitude et Génial Olivier

Jacques Devos both wrote and drew this long-running Belgian series for Dupuis, spanning seventeen issues from 1974 to 1989. The strip follows the comedic misadventures of its titular character, a well-meaning but perpetually hapless fellow whose earnest attempts at virtue inevitably lead to chaos. Devos’s clean, expressive ligne claire style and gentle satire made it a charming staple of the Franco-Belgian comic scene, offering a lighthearted take on everyday foibles.
