Prudence Petitpas was a Belgian comics series, created by Maurice Maréchal.

Maréchal purposefully choose for a senior character to stand out among other comics series who usually had younger protagonists.

Originally the series was published in shorter stories, later developed into longer adventures.

The series was terminated in 1967 so that Maréchal could concentrate better on his daytime job as a Spanish teacher in Verviers.

[1] The scripts were written by René Goscinny, Greg, Raymond Macherot and Mittéï.
