I grew up reading Spirou in Scandinavian translations. Now I'm learning French and trying to decode the originals.

  1. The first strip features Joan’s own character Petite Lucie (often featured in the magazine’s puzzle pages) spraying (partially obscured) “Pig, I f**k you big!”.

    1. Cheers! I didn’t recognize the character, and didn’t bother to try translating the graffiti. (Text that is integrated into the image is massively more time-consuming to replace than text that just sits in the speech balloons.)

      It’s worth noting that although one might assume otherwise, both Joan and Gwen de Bonneval are male.

  2. I just though it was an interesting attempt to get sh*t below the radar. Although the audience of the Spirou magazine is largely pre-teen, there are many adult (or at least pubertal) jokes contained in the magazine.
