Inspector Canardo is a long running comic series written and drawn by Benoît Sokal. The eponymous protagonist is an antropomorphic duck Defective Detective Anti-Hero, who often treads on the gray areas of justice while trying to cope with the problems of a world populated by Funny Animals. Sokal started writing longer Canardo stories in 1980's, resulting in the first Canardo albums. They established a more stable continuity and started to focus more on tense plots than parody. Over the course of 30 years, 19 albums of Canardo's (mis)adventures have been published.
