Nothing is ever simple with Gomer. Between his deplorable sense of timing, his absent-mindedness and his never-ending quest for new ways to avoid work, he causes a lot of fuses to blow – those of his colleagues, De Mesmaeker and poor Prunelle, of course, but also the actual ones at the office. And that is not at all to Alistair Bacus’s taste – the accountant at Spirou Publishing … 

This age group listing I always find amusing.  From Yakari on up if you love comics and the fun involved then you can quite easily read these books if you are 8 or 80.

Gomer Goof is well drawn and funny but going through it I thought something was different and I spent ages trying to work out what -you get like that when you get older! It's probably down to the artist because characters and how you draw them does change from first to later editions.

What it comes down to is this: want a safe read for your kids or even a fun read for yourself? Get Gomer the Goof!
