Canardo inspector

General information

The Canardo inspector is a character imagined by Benoît Sokal. Initially published in the forms of short stories by the magazine of data base (To be followed), it will integrate quickly the editions Casterman for a series of complete accounts.

Synopsis

Canardo is before a whole duck. It is also a depressive and disillusioned private detective, that which one can find in a little glaucous American whodunnits. It evolves/moves in a universe blafard, populated characters pauper (all incarnated by animals) and sails of sinister bars in dubious conquests. It is alcoholic and inveterate smoker. It never leaves its old impermeable and likes to move in Cadillac. Its investigations are born from a sudden situation or are ordered to him by improbable customers. It always carries out them with serious and, if it inevitably unties the bag of nodes with which it is confronted, moral misery related with the universe in which it is plunged are not without destroying it morally a little more.

The investigations of the Canardo Inspector are built into a visual paradox in which Sokal went Master. The magic and childish universe of the character-animals, which is not without pointing out that of the cartoons, is corrupted by the very black atmosphere of the account, the characters with very dubious morality, and the depressive temperament of the hero.
