Gaston Lagaffe/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Longtarin a poor victim of Gaston or a total Jerkass which deserves Gaston's antics ?
 * Crazy Awesome: Some of Gaston's inventions, like the propeller on the roof of his car that recharges the battery: it starts lifting the roof off, so Prunelle grabs, then the whole roof lifts off and Prunelle is sent on a long flight, ending because of a stupidly-placed wall.
 * Growing the Beard: Many people found the comics more funny after Franquin created other recurring characters and that the plot doesn't only focus on Gaston and Fantasio.
 * Ho Yay: Just a bit. In one comic, it is revealed that Gaston likes Fantasio even better than sleeping. Another features a gag which, in a way, sets them up as a couple -- Gaston swallows the prize inside a box of candy and has to go to the hospital. When the prize is retrieved, a nurse cheerily tells Fantasio, who is waiting worriedly in the hallway, "It's an airplane!"
