 Chick Bill

Kid Ordinn

The comic series was created in April 1953 by Gilbert Gascard, better known by his pen name Tibet. The first adventure, Chick Bill in Arizona, was published in the Belgian weekly comic magazine Ons Volkske. In this debut story, Tibet was still clearly influenced by Walt Disney's anthropomorphic animal style. More than sixty further adventures were subsequently serialised in the weekly magazines Tintin / Kuifje and Ons Volkske. From the third story onwards, the animal characters were transformed into human characters, a change that became a defining feature of the series.

Petit Caniche

Dog Bull

Main characters in this album are: Chick Bill, Kid Ordinn, Petit Caniche, Double 1, Double 2, Dog Bull, Bert the bartender, Mad Doctor.

Mad Doctor

Synopsis
Dog Bull instructs Kid Ordinn to guard the entrance to Wood City and to confiscate the firearms of anyone wishing to enter the town. While Petit Caniche is bringing him his lunch, a mysterious stranger refuses to surrender his weapons and instead empties them in a burst of gunfire. Shortly afterwards, a second man arrives at the town boundary. Dressed in exactly the same clothes and looking identical to the first, he calmly hands over his firearms without objection...
