The object
The object
The comic consists in a zany parody of Albert Robida's Saturnin Farandoul mixed with elements of the film The Great Race starring Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. It tells of Marzolino Tarantola, an adventurous, snob nobleman of British origins who takes part to the San Francisco-Paris car rally accompanied by the faithful butler Alfred and by Enrico l'Equipaggio (Henry the crew), a hulking speech-impaired man that solves any kind of problem.
