Dites, Roba..., grease pencil illustration published for a short story in Spirou + n°6, June 16, 1983. The artist joined André Franquin's studio in 1958, when Jean Roba was also working for an advertising agency and had published three Uncle Paul stories in Spirou. When he joined Studio Franquin, he assisted the master with the Spirou et Fantasio episodes that appeared in the French daily "Le Parisien Libéré" in 1959 and 1960. These were "Tembo Tabou", then "Spirou et les Hommes-Bulles" and finally "Les Petits Formats". For all three stories, Roba drew the backgrounds and secondary characters. In this illustration, while drawing plate 9A of "Tembo Tabou", Roba talks about his work in Franquin's studio, alongside Jidéhem and Jean Verbruggen (the colorist). A real nugget, both historical and evocative of the golden age of Spirou. Signed and dated March 8, 1983 (trace of sticky paper at top). Dimensions: 25.1 x 36 cm.
