"Uncle Placid" is the fourth story from the Benny Breakiron comic book series by Peyo. The story is written by Peyo and Gos, with artwork by Peyo and François Walthéry.
Plot Summary[]
Benny’s uncle has a very important job: he guards the treasury of a very tiny — but very rich — neighboring country. Uncle Placid has his work cut out for him, with thieves of every stripe always plotting to break in and steal the money, but he never expected a thief to try and steal the machines that make the money! While traveling back home with Benny during a school break with the printing plates on board, it looks like super-strong Benny might be the only one able to fend off a daring raid!
