I made a piece about a certain Gaston (or, as we call him in Holland ‘Guust Flater’) episode. Guust is a lazy, blundering office junior at a youthful publishing house (the publishers who in real life publishes the actual comic series) with a special talent for science experiments. Besides being lazy, clumsy, kind of self centered and pretty cocky he’s also just a pretty ‘good guy’ sort of fella, who (usually) unconsciously keeps the office from having a lucrative contract signed with (grumpy) businessman De Mesmaeker.
In one episode it is because of a redecoration of the main office Guust had done over the weekend. When De Mesmaeker is (once again) ready to sign, he’s too distracted about the mural Guust had done and he once again takes an anxious hike without leaving his highly anticipated signature. I guess, the whole idea of a mural making a business deal not happen appealed to me. Here’s how that ends:
