César et Ernestine is a series by Maurice Tillieux which was key to the success of Éditions Dupuis. It was in 1957 that the character César appeared for the first time in the pages of Journal Spiroubefore being transferred to Le Moustique on 31 December 1959. In total, Tillieux produced 297 weekly gags up until the year 1966.Spirou reprinted a number of them between 1969 and 1973. During this same period, nine colour illustrations in the form of gags were to grace the magazine?s front cover. Four of these were running gags relating to César parking his Ford T in his garage. One such gag is being offered for sale here.
