Gaston Lagaffe<\/p><\/div>\n

Listening to the Ken Duncan’s interview on the Animation Podcast<\/a> I remembered those great comic strips from Begian author Franquin. I still can’t believe Gaston Lagaffe is more than 50 years old! No wonder Gaston’s car was a 1925 Fiat 509.\u00a0<\/a> […] <\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 Franquin<\/strong> (January 3, 1924 \u2013 January 5, 1997) was an influential Belgian<\/a> comics artist<\/a>, whose best known comic strip<\/a> creations are Gaston<\/a><\/em> and Marsupilami<\/a><\/em>, created while he worked on the Spirou et Fantasio<\/a><\/em> comic strip from 1947 to 1969, during a period seen by many as the series’ golden age.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you don’t know about Gaston Lagaffe, Marsupilami or Spirou and Fantasio check the following links.<\/p>\n

Thinking about it, my taste for character design, posing and entertainment might be influenced by Franquin. My favorite Gaston Lagaffe design is probably the one from around 67\/70, <\/a>a bit more complex than the previous production and much more organic than the current one.<\/p>\n

Apparently there is a reedition of Franquin’s work “Gaston l’integrale”<\/a> with scans of the original boards. I am ordering one of them right now! … Oh 99 euros… hum I will have to wait till I see it in shops first \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
