Guust Flater runt king


English translation:
Pruimpit: Where are the files for the next meeting? GUUST!
Pruimpit: Didn't you hear me calling?
Guust: Shst! Manage your things without me. My cat is
asleep and I don't want to wake her.
Pruimpit: ***censored***
Guust: Well, I never!
Pruimpit: If everyone around here had a cat on his lap,
our magazine wouldn't appear very frequently.
Guust: Gee. If all generals and admirals in the
world had a cat on their lap, I would be
feeling a lot more secure!
Pruimpit: (Now what can you say to that?)
Guust Flater (originally Gaston LaGaffe in french) has been translated into about 12 languages.* It has not yet been published in english, reasons behind this are unknown to me, but I think are largely to do with a feeling that after it is translated, a special quality is lost, and this humour will be unfunny to the english speaking audience. Two Guust strips were published in english in Graphic Story Monthly volumes 1 and 2 under the name Gomer Goof.
