Marsupilami

==Summary==
The Marsupilami is a fictional animal species from South America, created by André Franquin, first appearing in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou, making regular appearances in the popular Belgian comics series Spirou & Fantasio, as a pet of the main characters, and later starring as the main protagonist in its spin-off series (albeit a different Marsupilami than the aforementioned pet). It's one of the most well-known and iconic comic book characters originating from Europe.
