 Gaston 

Gaston Lagaffe (known by different names in translations, eg Guus; Viggo in Norwegian) is a fictional character invented by the Belgian cartoonist André Franquin (1924 - 1997) for a humorous comic strip, Gaston.

Gaston appeared in strip form in Spirou magazine from (c. 1950) to Franquin's death in 1997. Most were republished in hardback "album" format, in several differently-numbered series. The Gaston character is an extremely popular pop culture icon in France, and since the 1980s appears on a wide variety of merchandise.

The strip started originally as single panels in Spirou magazine, which Franquin drew as a distraction from the more elaborate Spirou adventures.
