After more than 40 years, De Mesmaeker NEVER manages to successfully sign those goddamn contracts, as every single attempt has been thwarted by Lagaffe's antics. See! Especially compared to Beast’s dreary solo tune, it seems like even the narrative secretly prefers Gaston. First, he sees his countrymen in danger once more, and despite being riddled with egg-tumors, wants to lead the masses to one last charge of glory since fighting for France is all he knows.

One of the newest businesses... Pizza. After all, the best way to win a fight is to prevent it from happening in the first place and getting everyone to think you’re a badass dude is a smart approach.

But the point is that he never gets any work done, instead preferring to spend his work days cobbling together mad contraptions, playing music on Bizarre Instruments, keeping a range of animals and plants, conducting chemical experiments that usually end with the explosion of his makeshift lab or simply sleeping. In addition, they're almost perfect twins (Jef is clean-shaven, Bertje has a thin beard). The character of the Beast delighted me every since I was a kid, and Belle was always my favorite heroine, possibly because she shares my love of books. All That Jazz: The Filmography of Bob Fosse. In another story, Gaston gives De Mesmaaker some soup he just cooked, and De Mesmaeker likes it so much he decides to get rid of the contracts he was supposed to sign... to make a contract with. Gaston has a presumably platonic but reciprocated relationship with fellow Dupuis employee Mademoiselle "'Moiselle" Jeanne. This is nothing short of genocide.

Gaston's accidental tampering with the mail, resulting in foreign publishers getting upset about how they received anything but what they expected (usually food).

"Les signerais jamais !

Bet you can think of some more! That Lagaffe's cat in a good mood, That was Lagaffe's gull, she gets foul moods sometimes, Hey guys, I'm going to start an experiment with a product that doesn't smell too good. Animals would similarly prefer to convince rivals that a fight isn’t worth the risk yet we don’t give them shit about behaving this way so why do we give Gaston shit? De Mesmaeker found it hilarious, and immediately bought rights to manufacturing them. Later he builds a miniature spark-throwing tank for his nephew, sending it straight towards a gas leak.

Warm water for months.

There's also Gaston's cat, who loves to take naps on comfortable chairs, but doesn't appreciate being sit on, as De Mesmaeker painfully finds out when a whirlwind of claws reduce his pants to tatters. The gag is that Gaston has only ever needed himself. A leader inspires, is creative, is committed, has confidence, communicates, delegates, etc… But let me say this, the best leaders I have seen in my life inspire awe.

Whenever Gaston leaves something sharp, hot or otherwise dangerous on a chair, someone (usually Fantasio) will inevitably not see it when trying to sit down, resulting in this trope combined with.

He turned the chair into a propeller-driven vehicle. Another early gag was to have Fantasio trying to have a phone call with someone important, only to be interrupted by Gaston's (or one of his animals') antics, which leads him to yell at him and then having to profusely apologize to the person on the other end of the line, because they thinks he is cursing at them instead of Gaston. Gaston has also appeared in a promotional ad strip for Amnesty International in which Gaston has a nightmare of being a tortured political prisoner.

which is an abbreviated version of "hvad behager?"

Jon Hamm!

How the cholesterol didn’t kill him can only be attributed to his inhuman fortitude. Unfortunately, the bridge-building company next door was using a computer to plan out a bridge that turned out like an LSD nightmare. She was not happy with being a centaur's behind though... Gaston's shifty car, after the front-engine comes out of the back of the car.

An angry neighbor brings back the boomerang to Fantasio thinking he's the one who threw it, Fantasio then throw it at Gaston's head while saying, "Gaston! CBS Just Goes Ahead and Posts Part of Trump’s. Gaston theorizes that the varnish on the instrument disgusted them. Clearly, there’s more to be seen of Gaston than the typical narrative suggests.

The part-comedian, part-critic talks starting out in comedy and her earliest childhood memory.

If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, please feel free to contribute. Belle cruelly mocks him, which goes to make you wonder who the real beast is. Examples include a knight's armor that clanked so loudly someone thought the kitchen's cabinets fell apart when Gaston passed in front of his house, a robot costume that can barely move (and realistic enough to make De Mesmaeker faint) or a Marsupilami costume with a whole garden hose as the tail (Longtarin gets tangled inside and dragged behind Gaston's car).

Gaston is the cocky, misogynistic, vain, and generally evil villain of “Beauty and the Beast” — or is he? While flambeeing crepes suzette, he set fire to his orange liquor bottle that shot like a rocket and exploded only a few meters away from the French president's limousine (Gaston had used a presidential parade as distraction to circumvent a "no cooking in the office" order).

Meet us at Sushi Rox, we can listen on our Tek-Mate. It doesn’t matter if you’re an evil leader or a righteous one, the principles of leadership are still basically the same. he creates a perfect zero friction material. It’s not easy being the man who saved France. Later in the comic's run, Fantasio's role was taken over by the equally hot-tempered Léon Prunelle. Instead of building out Gaston’s character, the movie gives its big character upgrade to Josh Gad’s LeFou.

When Gaston sees the Beast in the mirror, two thoughts run through his head.

This is what true leaders do.

No jellyfish.

Someone sitting up high in his castle, such as the Beast, relying on an unending source of family wealth never becomes purified by contact with reality and so it’s impossible to know that he is not a fraud. In another episode, he proudly presents his invention of the elastic safety belt, which allows him to avoid having to fasten and unfasten it every time he has to get out of the car to post a letter. In his office, we see his desk full with toys. This frequently leads to him butting heads with his neurotic boss Fantasio note  originally a main character in the aforementioned Spirou And Fantasio, who is charged with the impossible task of getting Gaston to work. Longtarin's colleagues remarking that he's really not suited for being a traffic cop after being sent rolling or flying away by Gaston's inventions or mishaps. He also once redid the plumbing so he could use a spare pipe to discreetly communicate with Moiselle Jeanne a floor below (linking Boulier's gas stove with a water pipe in the process) or turned up the heaters so that he could make toast with them, so high that his co-workers started to pass out from heat stroke and dehydration. Given that he makes his living by hunting and fighting, if he was a phony he would have already been exposed as such. Despite André Franquin's refusal to let his beloved work be adapted into film, a French movie was made in 1981, Fais gaffe à la gaffe!

True, the Beast does fall in love but since he has enormous incentives to do so we can’t take it seriously.
