Philip and Francis

The Adventures of Philip and Francis is a series of French comic. This series is a parody of the series Blake and Mortimer, where Philip Mortimer and Francis Blake are again facing their greatest enemy, Colonel Olrik. Screenplay by Pierre Veys, Drawing by Nicolas Barral and Colors by Philippe de la Fuente.

All the characters are caricatured to the extreme: Philip is smart but a childish behavior and unnecessary remarks made ​​throughout the albums, Francis still lives with his mother and take to Zorro, Olrik is a wicked too sure of himself and not really effective, his followers are keen on sewing fools. Philip and Francis's adventures are ridiculed and are the theater of absurd situations. All this is immersed in a typical humor of the authors and their previous series Baker Street.

Blake and Mortimer

Blake and Mortimer is a Belgian comics series created by the Belgian writer and comics artist Edgar P. Jacobs. It was one of the first series to appear in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin in 1946, and was subsequently published in book form by Les Editions du Lombard. Since the death of Jacobs, new books have been published by two separate teams of artists and writers. A television series based upon the series was produced in 1997, entitled Blake and Mortimer. The books by Jacobs himself are generally set in the very period of their writing, but those authored by others after his death are set mostly in the 1950s and 1960s.

The main protagonists of the adventures are Philip Mortimer, a leading British scientist, and his friend Captain Francis Blake of MI5. The main antagonist is their sworn enemy, Colonel Olrik, who has appeared almost every book. Their confrontations take them into the realms of detective investigation and science-fiction, dealing with such themes as time travel, Atlantis and espionage.
