 Sigvald:
              good review points ( an I am a proffesional reviewer). You'll
be a great Franquin's fan. :)
Well no problem, keep out of canon of your mind. What is? Italian?

By the way that remind me the album "Spirou et les heritiers" where Fantasio
and Zantafio match because a last will. And the prize, that you know at end
of story is a fortune bigger than diamonds...

And the marsupilami debut, too...
