Gaston Lagaffe is a comic book character from the Belgian comic book series Gaston.
Introduction
A young office worker who slacks off most of the time. However, he is also an inventor, coming up with all sorts of weird devices. One of them is the Gaffophone, a musical instrument.
History
Gaston first appeared at the offices of Spirou as a mysterious, nameless young man.[note 1] Spirou and Fantasio notice him, asking themselves what is he doing. Fantasio then begins to be suspicious of him, and it is here that Fantasio starts referring him by his name: Gaston.[1] Spirou then asks Gaston who is he and how did he get here. Gaston tells him he has been sent to the Spirou offices by an unknown person, to work on an unknown position. He then becomes an employee of the journal, unofficially starting his career of "gaffes"; his first one being spilling ink on a contest page.[note 2] Fantasio is wary of Gaston, and releases an official statement reagrding him, his situation, and the fact that he is an "unemployed hero" (a character who doesn't yet have his own comic strip seriealized on the journal).[note 3] Gaston's personality as a "gaffeur" is cemented on issue #995 of Spirou, when he plasters a photo of himself under the editorial column Le Fureteur ("the browser"), thinking the copy machine was a camera.[note 4]
