Pierre Tombal
Pierre Tombal is a Belgian gag comic strip, drawn by Marc Hardy and written by Raoul Cauvin, about a gravedigger and the dead people at his cemetery. The series has been in syndication since 1983 and is published in the Belgian magazine Spirou by Dupuis.
Pierre Tombal centers around an undertaker, Pierre Tombal (a pun on pierre tombale, gravestone in French), who owns a cemetery. He is able to talk to the dead people in his graveyard, which often freaks out visitors, especially when the corpses talk or react back. Pierre functions as a spokesperson, servant, aid and trustworthy guard on benefit of the people who are buried there. Many black comedy jokes are about the various ways his customers died or how they spent their daily lives at the graveyard. A running gag is Pierre's rivalry with the proprietor of a crematory and a captain who favors burial at sea. The Grim Reaper is also a recurring character.
In Dutch the series is published under the name G. Raf Zerk. In Spanish as Pedro Tumbas. In Indonesian as Tombal.In Greek as Πιέρ το Κοράκι.
H.S. Best Of, Tome 1, 2003 (ISBN 978-2-8001-3203-7).
