The object
The object
The comic strip is about a ghost who fights crime and who can travel through time. It can be categorized as a humoristic comic strip. The minimalism of the shapes was in strong contrast with the detailed and carefully consistent backgrounds and story. This is the first sketched comic strip of the author, and after it, he gave up on his realist artwork and created a few more comic strips: Les Rigolus et les Tristus, Surplouf le petit corsaire etc.
