(Dupuis - 1962)
La série préférée de Peyo, et ça se voit ! Tout son art est ici concentré. La lisibilité maximale. L’humour permanent. Le duo magistral formé par le page et le lutin facétieux. La chute se plaçant hors-champ de l’action pour amplifier son effet comique. La grande case d’une incroyable vivacité occupant le haut de la page - observez bien les convives du banquet, il n’y a pas de figurants, uniquement de « vrais » personnages, avec une vie et des expressions propres. Que dire, sinon que Peyo est un conteur hors-pair ?

Catalogue Note
This was Peyo’s favourite series, and it shows! All his art is concentrated here. The maximum readability. The constant sense of humour. The masterly double-act between the page and his mischievous sidekick. The punchline takes place out of view to boost its comic effect. The large panel occupying the top has an incredible vivacity - just look at the guests at the banquet, there are no extras, only "real" characters, with a life and expressions of their own. What can one say, except that Peyo is an outstanding storyteller?
