Gaston Lagaffe Gag n°839 (Spirou 2092, 1978)

By 1978, many were already working to raise awareness regarding the impact of the carbon footprint. The legendary Franquin did just that using his famous character Gaston in this original that denounces the social networks of the time, television, politics, and the infamous oil slick caused by the sinking of the Amoco Cadiz off the coast of Finistère a few months before. Even Gaston's companion, the seagull, is distraught at the consequences of this ecological disaster. A premium original that stands out from the rest of Franquin's production: atmosphere, details, the presence of the main characters, his car, right down to that magical Franquin signature in the shape of a polluting vehicle. The matching color guide, 100% hand-colored by Franquin, is also included. It's all there. Also published in Lagaffe mérite des baffes #13, published by Dupuis in 1979.
