Pierre Tombal is a Belgian comic book series by Marc Hardy and Raoul Cauvin. It's a gag comic about a gravedigger who acts like a confidence advisor towards the dead people in his cemetery. He treats them as residents and listens to their wishes, complaints and problems, yet also makes sure they obey the rules. Sometimes the dead forget that they are all living skeletons now and frighten the living people. Or they overestimate their abilities and do stuff that either leaves their bones in a mess or frightens everybody. One of the running gags is that some people are genuinely shocked by the fact that these skeletons are still alive, while others just accept the fact that life apparently just goes on, even after death.The series is one of the Print Long-Runners, debuted in 1986 and still in syndication. | |

| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: One album cover has Pierre walking towards a grave that shoots its gravestone up in the air and shouting: "I wish you would stop doing that, Mr. von Braun!" In another grave a large eagle arrives, opens up the grave, goes inside, a painful scream is heard, whereupon Pierre runs to the grave, but the bird already flew away. Turns out it was the grave of Prometheus. | |

| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: Pierre Tombal is the only recurring character whose name we know, except for Anja the barmaid in his local bar. There are some people who regularly visit the cemetery and whom he lectures about the proceedings there, but they never receive a name. Pierre is sometimes seen playing cards with his rivals, the proprietor of a crematory and a capitain specializing in sea burials. Later volumes introduce his cousin Marie, who is also a gravedigger (and therefore another rival to his business). | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Little girls and beautiful young women look different from other types of characters. They also tend to lack noses. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One Pierre Tombal gag has someone buried with his flute, as a last wish. In the final panel we see on his grave stone that it is Peewit from Johan and Peewit. | |

Laxative Prank | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_c7aa57f5 | comment |
Laxative Prank: Pierre and Marie once planned to spike the other's drink. At the same time. This goes as well as you might expect. | |

What, Exactly, Is His Job? | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_d1726c18 | comment |
What, Exactly, Is His Job?: Pierre's professional activities go well beyond what a normal gravedigger would do. He acts as a confidential advisor, spokesperson, guard, justice keeper, peace and order keeper, contact with the real world.... | |

The Nothing After Death | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_d57f4a99 | comment |
The Nothing After Death: A particularly odd example. God and the Grim Reaper apparently exist in this universe, but the dead don't seem to go to either Heaven, Purgatory, Hell or any other sort of afterlife. They just spend their days and nights on the cemetery as residents. | |

Interrogating the Dead | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_d88f0679 | comment |
Interrogating the Dead: Pierre often does this, because something is missing and he suspects one of his dead clients stole it. Or there's some other disturbance that the living complain about and it is apparently traceable to the dead people. | |

Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_d904a7fd | comment |
Can't Live with Them, Can't Live without Them: The Grim Reaper would love nothing more than to reap Life, but it's been shown that without her, the world would be lifeless and he'd be left with nothing to do, so he tries to tolerate her existence. Sometimes. | |

Just Following Orders | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_dca97045 | comment |
Just Following Orders: The Grim Reaper generally doesn't kill unless God tells him to. However, if someone makes him angry enough, he's willing to act on his own. | |

No Antagonist | |
| Pierre Tombal (Comic Book) / int_e0aed924 | comment |
No Antagonist: There's no real antagonist in this comic book, though Pierre has a business rivalry with a Burial at Sea business and another specializing in incinerations. Then there's his cousin Marie. | |

Mundane Utility: Ever hear of someone turning in his grave? Turns out attaching a dynamo to a coffin does wonders for your electric bill. Some of the skeletonized residents do odd jobs like unblocking the septic tank. They're willing to help, but if you forget them while they're in there... | |
