The disasters Gomer keeps causing at the Spirou office (and in town, and out of town, and for the Army .
) sometimes drive his neighbours and co-workers to regrettable excesses.
They shout at him, lock him up, occasionally try to strangle him a bit .

In his 20 years at the helm of Spirou and Fantasio, creator of their fantastical friend the Marsupilami, he was also the father of one of the most beloved anti-heroes of European comics, Gaston Lagaffe, as well as the delightfully dark and sarcastic Idées Noires.
As a sign of his popularity, he received the very first Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême in 1974.
