Quick & Flupke
Encyclopedia : Q : QU : QUI : Quick & Flupke
Quick & Flupke (Quick et Flupke in French and Kwik en Flupke in Dutch) is a comic book series by Hergé about two street urchins in Brussels named Quick and Flupke. The two boys cause trouble unintentionally, leading to trouble with their parents and the police.
The series was published in the pages of Le Petit Vingtième starting in January 1930. The strips continued until 1940 (although they were republished in the Tintin magazine, conceived by Raymond Leblanc).
Hergé eventually abandoned the series in order to spend more time on Tintin. After Hergé's death, the books were coloured by the Studios Hergé and re-issued by the publishing house Casterman in 12 volumes, between 1985 and 1991.

Recent times
The English version of Quick & Flupke was produced in the early 1990s, and consisted of only two books, published by Mammoth Publishing. The books were translated by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper and Michael Turner. The text in the English volumes is not lettered in the same way as other Hergé books in English. The two English volumes are collections of strips that the editors feel like are the best Quick & Flupke comics. The English edition comics are all colored.In the 1980s, the books were made into a TV series, the creation of which was supervised by Studios Hergé. It was recently re-issued on DVD in France.
