I suppose that was the first clue that he was going to turn into the shamelessly nekkid Congorilla. The first few times I looked at the picture I didn't see the jodhpurs, either. I wondered what Mr. Business Casual Man was doing in a 1956 Brazilian comic book. Thanks, Exy!

Per this site and Google translate: Who does not remember Satellipopettes? This youth quiz aired for 10 years, from 1975 to 1985 Tele-Metropole (now VAT) The games are summarized as follows: there are two teams and two robots. One of the robots was silver color and the other gold. Captain Cosmos (Claude Steben) was asking more or less difficult for both teams. If the team had the right answer, one of the participants of this team, put a piece of robot. To win, you must complete the assembly of the robot.

OP Thriftshop Debutante Terrifyingly On-Topic. Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 10,145 Perhaps the French publisher didn't "get" roller derby (although the Germans seem OK with it) and made changes. Fair enough. I wonder, did they have to change the whole story too? *If* the original story is in there, that is. I've heard that overseas reprint comic covers don't necessarily represent the contents.
