Description This sketchdump is the result of my friend Lieju recently getting me into Gaston Lagaffe (a comic from Belgium that has never been published in English, and no one has heard of here). These are a collection of random sketches I did, mainly trying to get used to drawing Prunelle and Gaston.

I'm going to say that Gaston got the idea to put the office upside down after watching an episode of the Avengers (not those Avengers, the British TV series from the sixties) where a guy dresses as a superhero and commits murders by stealing some magnetic boots to climb up walls. And there is a bit where a guy just has his office put upside down to test the boots out.

For some reason I was thinking Gaston would be fairly good at videogames. I guess up until the point he decides to go off and make his own virtual reality simulation device, and then all chaos erupts in the office...
Maybe they were playing the game so they could do a review of it for the magazine. I just couldn't help but think that Prunelle wouldn't really have the patience for them.

I also had a go at drawing other charatcers Spirou, Fantasio and Spip. Just because I felt like drawing them. Their adventures are now starting to be published in English and I'm looking forward to seeing more of their releases.

Of course, he wouldn't be him if he wasn't angry at something.

Thank you. Was certainly fun to draw the characters and get a balance between the original art style and my own.

Eh, Gaston, I'm not sure how good of an idea that is, considering how often Prunelle is red in the face already?

Dunno how much Prunelle would stress over something like video-games though, since it's not that important, but if it's part of the work...
There is a comic (I don't think it's scanlated yet?)where they get computers for the office and use them just to play Pong.

Could have worked. If just because surely anything to change Prunelle's blood pressure must help.

I imagined less he'd stress about them. More he'd just be terrible with the controls (that is pretty much my friends reaction to playing L4D for the first time).
I was going to do an alternative version of this where they play pong (since I guess it's closer to the time) but the home pong games are smaller so wouldn't have had as much space to draw as the sofa offers.

Yeah, I can't imagine Prunelle being good at video-games or playing them much no matter when it takes place.

Not really his thing.

Gaston was drawn in French.

Your Spirou and Spip are very cute.

I know. I've managed to get a look at some of the originals (should have corrected Chris on that).

Thanks. I love Spirou, he's so cute. I sort of like him younger though. He's cuter that way.
