Gaston Lagaffe statue, Bronze comic character statue in Downtown Brussels, Belgium.
The three-dimensional representation stands near the Belgian Comic Strip Center, depicting the character interacting with his yellow Fiat 509 vehicle.
The statue was installed in recognition of Andre Franquin's character Gaston Lagaffe, who first appeared in Spirou magazine during 1957.
This public artwork reflects Belgium's strong connection to comic art, joining numerous other character statues distributed throughout the Brussels streets.
Visitors can locate the statue by walking north from Grand Place along Rue du Marché aux Herbes toward the Belgian Comic Strip Center.
The statue captures Gaston's characteristic disorganization through his interaction with a traffic sign, reflecting his tendency to create unintentional chaos.
