Ten to midnight! The time when all little boys are sound asleep... And Kid Paddle is no exception. His smile tells its own story...His joystick is on standby, ready to jump into action when Kid wakes again. Like Tintin’s tuft, it is his cap, within easy reach at the end of his bed, which is Kid’s distinguishing feature. This poetic image is the one that appeared on the back cover of the first seven albums in the Kid Paddle series, published by Éditions Dupuis between 1996 and 2001, and is thus firmly imprinted on the collective imagination of Kid Paddle readers from "Jeux de vilains" (Naughty Games) to "Waterminator". Such replica-tion makes the image desirable in more ways than one, and not only for young fans of this intergenerational series, but for older fans too.
