Four guys who hang out at a curbside bar owned by ‘Joe’ and their often hilarious antics and adventures give a glimpse into French cafe’ racer culture of the 70’s and provide more than a few laughs along the way. Chased by cops, taunting each other into overstepping their riding ability, happily tearing down a stranded rider’s Guzzi (even though it only ran out of gas), and experimenting with Joe’s cocktail mix in their fuel are just some examples of the hijinks they live through
Can't help thinking the stories lost a little in translation, but great cartoons - of which the French are so good.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Game Over cartoons nothing to do with bikes but great fun and also Ogri for Brit biking cartoon humour at it's best
They may have... translating humor is likely to lose something. I looked at some Game Over... ummm, not my thing. Too close to Mad Magazine, or Coyote vs Road Runner cartoons. These Joe Bar Team have a motorcycle humor, and that's why I dig them.
DeleteI'll take a longer look at Ogri, thanks!
