The characters
The characters
The series is designed for tourists visiting the regions, as well as local residents to remind them of their history and heritage. The comic albums look at each region's regional language, way of life, people, activities and events, and their typical landscapes of the regions, with each album hosted by a character that represents the region. Each book also includes a glossary of terms and expressions and a few typical recipes of the regions.
The main character of each graphic novel are all distant cousins of each other, similar in appearance and character, who introduce, with their family and friends, their homes through various storylines: • Néciphore, a fisherman from the Magdalen Islands • Théophile, a retiree in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean after 35 years of loyal service at a factory • Dagobert, a calèche driver in Quebec City • Philémond, a treasure hunter in Charlevoix • Stanislas, a cowboy in Mauricie • Winnyfred, a man from Acadia All main characters of these novels have rarely traveled outside of their region, as they felt that where they live is where they belong.
Translation
Translation
The graphic novel for Quebec City, The Adventures of Dagobert has been translated into English. As much of the humor and puns are Québécois-specific, some of the jokes and the spirit of the story have been lost in the translation. To compensate for this, many original Québécois expressions have been kept in the story, explained in the glossary and in the regional recipes for the English-speaking readers. The authors plan on translating more books as a way to reach out to English-language readers.
