Gaston LaGaffe/Guust Flater
My favorite cartoon-hero is not a hero in perfection. Anyway, he does surprising things in life.  
The greatest inventor in objects, which do work, or do not work and change into self-destruction. Everybody wants this worker, isn't it?
 

Looking for a new job
This is his biggest job; he likes to sleep. 
Broken or sleeping?
Sleeping1
Now he's dreaming
During his "work" he is not a favorite of "de Mesmaeker". This person will never be able to lock his signed contracts, because when Guust only touches them, the contracts are destroyed. De Mesmaeker: After all those years; our contracts are signed!!!
The consequence: 
No signed contracts
Vondelaar Another person who doesn't like his extreme behaviour, is the policeman Vondelaar. Because of the car of Guust even the city and the country isn't safe.

Vondelaar again

The cat in the right cartoon is very similar to the cat of Guust.  
The gull isn't popular according to some reactions of the colleages of Guust.
The cat of Guust   
Isn't there any person who likes Guust? Indeed, there is ms. Jannie. She likes his stupied actions en doesn't hear the critics of his colleages.  
Sometimes there are nice and humouristic situations with these two.
The perfect couple
The most beautiful "instrument" is the "Gaffophone", or whatever you call this thing. The Gaffophone
