Belgium is known for its absurd culture and odd sense of humour. But in the world of comic books, Belgium is one of the top producers of comic books, with two competing “schools” - the Charleroi School and Brussels School. The Charleroi School, based in Marcinelle, was home to the publisher Dupuis, who published Le Journal de Spirou. I remember very well the adventures of Spirou, Fantasio, Spip and the marsupilami, challenging Tintin and all his friends from Brussels. Charleroi didn't forget them also.
