At Spirou magazine, life goes on, punctuated by the occasional bouts of insanity of Gomer’s cats, attacks by Gomer’s gull, and disasters caused by Gomer’s latest invention … In other words, business as usual. And at least his coworkers can have some peace while he nods off at his desk!
Outside of work, though, peace is not an option. Between Goof and Officer Longsnoot, the Parking Meters War has begun – and the winner will receive a twenty-one-goof salute!
As is always the case it is hard to pinpoint exact "things" in a book that contain a lot of visual gags and humour as well as some very weird incidents. The pages, as always, are crammed full of art and I really do want to know what size the original art is drawn on because if even A3 it is crammed -at times almost insanely.
Gomer delivers as always and I always recommend giving any Cinebook title, particularly the humour books, at least a try because if you find the one that is "yours" you'll want the series. Stylish humour and art and colour work that just adds to the whole package. My initial response to seeing Gomer in a batch of books years back was "oh, gods, this looks frightful" (boring). That attitude changed quickly!
