When Franquin stopped with Spirou he took the rights for the Marsupilami with him so that in the later episodes he is missed. Franquin continued with a spinoff series solely around the Marsupilami and his family (a different marsupilami though), which I didn't enjoy as much. He is awesome as a sidekick but as main character... there was something missing...
Nevertheless he is cool!
Some of his characteristics are: being amphibious, laying eggs that hatch, having an eight-meter-tail, loves eating fleas and piranhas and talking Huba huba!
