While not well known in the west, he's considered to be a major influence in his madcap expressions.
If Serge Gaboury is the Don Martin of Quebec, and Don Martin is MAD's Maddest Artist, then Gotlib is the Don Martin of France.
A comprehensive list of his created comics can be found here, ranging from a Droopy-like dog, to his farcial "Educational" Rubrique-à-Brac comics, to his Superhero parody Superdupont, to his adult humour magazine Fluide Glacial.
SuperDupont is his longest-running and most popular creation, but since the politically satirical French hero is virtually unknown, here's the Silver Roller parody instead. |
Watch where that boy's hand is reaching! |
A typical Gotlib "strip" from the interior cover art. |
There's 15 balloons in this panel alone. Multiply that by 12, and you begin to understand why. |
I figured this was a good time as any to show the first half of the Fairy tale comic that I did years ago.
Now, we get to see the backstory of this Prince Valiant-like Prince Charming.
Not that we needed an excuse to understand his motivation.
Apart from my amateur attempts, the only other known attempt at scanlating Gotlib's massive library of works is the mostly silent comic, Pervert Pappy, where a perverted creepy old man with a constantly dripping nose constantly engages in ludicrous scenarios that appeals to his... weirdly specific fetishes.
I suppose the main difference between Gotlib and Don Martin is that Don Martin has the temperament to space out his increasing level of concentrated weirdness to one page at a time. Gotlib has all his sight gags made available for full viewing on first sight. While I've expressed my displeasure at reorganizing the panels of a comic page (especially if they're out of order) into another unsuitable format in the attempt of attracting new audiences, I'd make an exception in this case.
