Kid Paddle is a Belgian gag-a-day comic series created by Michel Ledent (Midam) in 1993.[1][2] It was first published in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou until branching out into its own volume comic albums in 1996.[3]

The series was popular enough to have spawned an animated TV series produced by defunct animation studio Spectra Animation; that aired on M6 and Canal J in France, RTBF Television in Belgium and on Teletoon in Canada.[4]

Overview

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Both the comic strip and the TV show cover all the passions and interests of 8 to 12-year-old boys.[5] The main character, Kid Paddle, is a young boy with a passionate love for video games, comic books, Blorks (fictional aliens), and sci-fi television.[6] His two best friends are Big Bang and Horace. Big Bang is a kid scientist who is always creating new gadgets for Kid to try out and is very intelligent for his age. Horace is more naïve compared to the other two and has a very bizarre appetite. He is always very supportive of Kid and looks up at him. As is typical for young children, Kid often fights with his sister, Carol, who finds her brother to be a degenerate air-head.
