Gaston

First appearing in a pannel of the Spirou and Fantasio adventure "Le voyageur du Mésozoïque." in issue n°1014 of Spirou magazine, André Franquin's Gaston Lagaffe soon became the star of his own strip. The lazy and accident prone 'hero' (his surname translates as blunder) is the office junior at Dupuis - the company that publish Spirou - and there are frequent references to office life.
