Nom de dieu!
…what the…
It’s a tribute to Franquin and his Gaston Lagaffe. Pretty in-joke, but nice if you know of it.
Thankyou, not one I’m familiar with. Though I can’t complain, I’m sure a lot of people did not get the Asterix one, which I fond very amusing.
What comic did the Asterix reference ?
Oh right these Gaston jokes, I do remember them again now.
The good ole liquid rubber pancakes.
Not sure if it helps or not, but here’s the original gag : https://goo.gl/images/ZvR4ee
(it’s in french and not much point to translate it, let’s just say he tried to make normal crepes at work, but lazyness/chaos/his like of chemical experiments interfered)
Rogntudju is the exasperated/angry sound often made by the responsible/normal guy when confronted to one of those gaffes.
(precision as i felt my comment might be taken the wrong way : i’m not complaining, i felt it was a tribute to a person who died recently and was linked to this work, and just wanted to give more context)
Franquin didn’t die recently. It has been a while now. But this year is the 60th anniversary of the creation of the “Gaston Lagaffe” character which inspired this strip.
I was thinking of the death of Jidehem (30/04/2017) rather than Franquin, as it would explain the timing of the tribute, but i’m just guessing anyway.
(it seems he was originally an assistant on backgrounds but ended up helping Franquin a lot more than that in the long run)
I hadn’t heard of the death of Jidehem (not a big news in New Zealand where I live now). You are right that it is appropriate.
Thank you for explaining that, as I was totally lost.
Now if you could explain how to actually ‘pronounce’ that word..?
I think the first commenter has it right: It sounds a little like Nom De Dieu! (God’s Name!), but like Joe Pesci is saying it in the French version of Home Alone. Rasserfrassin Rrongtudjuuuu!
To complete your comment, here is a picture of said responsible (Prunelle) losing his nerves to Gaston’s jokes: http://www.seronet.info/sites/default/files/9256/index.jpg
Thanks for the clarification. I love Gaston and got the tribute, but missed the onomatopaeic gag due to different localization (its ‘grrrretverdrie’ here)
As a Belgian, I approve this joke !
Latex paint doesn’t really make for tasty crêpes, but it makes for a heck of a party trip.
Why is Laser Pony looking at the crepe? He’s blind!
He’s turning towards good girls stomach growl
He had normal sight during childhood and adolescence. That constitutes a habitude that’s likely to last for the rest of his life.
It’s the people born blind (or gone blind early in their lives) that turn their ears instead of their eyes towards the source of interesting sound / places where they think something interesting is happening.
It could have been worse, though.
It could have been Bucky trying to cook…
Looks like they will be using Keth’s recipe after all… *dialing pizza delivery*
Very good point!
True. If Bucky were the chef, the little balloon crepe would take off, burst into flames, and crash in a scene reminiscent of the Hindenberg.
And the pieces throws itself into a fire.
Quel hommage!
I laughed so hard ! X’D
Heh, yeah.
Gaston and Asterix, did we have Tintin, Smurfs, Lucky Luke or Spirou yet? I wont even hope for Yoko Tsuno.
Bwahahaha !! Stomaches swearing !!
