X75-11: Bannister

Bannister is usually represented in the Journal de Spirou with the comic Les enfants d’ailleurs (something like “The Further Children”).

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

I don´t think Gaston and the count of Champignac has ever meet each other before, or have I overlooked something?

Personally, I think this is my favorite X75 gag.

I don’t believe the Count and Gaston have ever met in an official story, no. However, in Fournier’s [i]Le faiseur d’or[/i] (“The Gold Maker”), The Count draws inspiration from Gaston in coming up with a “cure” for one of the gangsters, so it’s possible that they met “off-screen”… Or maybe he just heard about him from Spirou and Fantasio.
