Gerbilman and his loyal sidekick Flamingoboy are two fun-loving super-heroes who live an semi-exciting life in their secret hideout, the Gerbilcave. Although they don't go out much, they do enjoy the day-to-day simple joys of life such as doing the dishes, reading a good book and being visited by blood-thirsty, vengeance-seeking arch-enemies.

One such of these villains, the Tournesolman, by a stroke of evil genius transforms our heroes into French-speaking individuals, thus robbing them of their will to live and their joie de vivre.

Loads of laughs and existential depression follows as our heroes try their darn best to adapt to this uncomfortable situation. But will their friendship last through this hardship?

Thierry Gagnon wasn't born in the wind swept, frozen plains of Finland. In fact, he has never even been in Europe (well, maybe except that one time), let alone any Scandinavian country for that matter. While we're on the subject, he also has never been caught fixing an election in some Third World puppet regime, as he has never, ever crashed in the middle of some forsaken land, being forced to eat grubs to survive as he fought wild beasts with his bare teeth and bad hair. But, as some may have guessed, he may live in the backward, French terrorist-filled, snow-covered Canadian Territory of Quebec.

He did write and draw Gerbilman on-and-off during the course of 6 long years. Yes, that he definitely did. He also co-wrote with his good pal Forg the wildly unsuccessful Aliens : Lovesick comic published by Dark Horse in 1997. Some of his other weird and unpublishable work can (or will) be found in Shimmering Waters.

He does have a few more projects up his sleeve, including a series of novels, a few short stories and a bunch of bric-à-brac. He, of course, is looking for funding and a nice publisher who likes sunsets, long walks on the beach and water-skiing.

He currently lives with his wife Chantal as well as his adorable son, the flesh of his flesh, the heir of all that the sun touches, Raphaël.

Of course, you may create as many links to this work as you want (the more the better!).
