Qrn Sur Bretzelburg by André Franquin

Spirou and Fantasio travel to the small fictional state of Bretzelburg to investigate mysterious radio interference (QRN) disrupting broadcasts; what starts as a technical puzzle soon reveals a farcical, repressive regime and a plot to exploit radio technology for political control. Amid eccentric inventions, comic mishaps and daring escapes, the pair uncover conspirators, help the oppressed, and work to restore normal transmissions while skewering authoritarian absurdities.
