Never read Gaston, might have to look it up. But I love Asterix and Tintin, which I read while growing up in India.
Interestingly the other comics I read were Phantom, Mandrake, Rip Kirby, Flash Gordon - available via a local publisher, Indrajal Comics [0], that were sent to us monthly (or was it weekly) via a subscription. Got introduced to all the *men much later.

- yumraj 5y agoThanks. I don't speak French, will look for English version..
- jacquesm 5y agoQuick and dirty translation, apologies for errors but this should get you the gist: "Gaston, bring me the last letter of insults from de Mesmaeker" "I'm curious how long it will take him to retrieve that from his" "mess...." "err, thanks" "Strange, he must have had it in hand by chance". "Let's do a second test" "Please fetch me the 4603rd response to the latest contest, it is ur" "gent" "Urr... thanks" "That's not possible, I know the mess in his place" "And the letter signed 'a new reader of 78'" "It upsets me, it upsets me" "And the message sent by that group of hippies" "He's invented a new system for classification of documents" "And look, in every piece there are tiny holes, it is a system based on micro-perforations" "I love my cactus, all of the correspondence organized and visible" Enjoy :)
