Story

edit

In this album, Bertrand Labévue and the Gaffophone appear for the first time. Most of the gags are caused by the instrument.

Inventions

edit
  • filter for gases: to be placed on the exhaust pipe of one's car to prevent CO2 emissions
  • a rocket to modify the weather: rocket full of explosive, but inefficient
  • quick floor polisher: consists of an old fire extinguisher.
  • table : a table camping which can fold automatically, thank to a small button situated at the center of the table, which can cause some unexpected and accidents

Background

edit

This is the first Gaston Lagaffe album published in the usual Franco-Belgian album format (21,8 x 30 cm).
