The series goes through three different artists, I think, though the character design is fairly consistent... but fair enough!
I thought of two more comics to mention: Lucky Luke (which is a Western that I read in Finnish, so it took a moment to connect it with francophone comics!), though its central duo is not two dudes but a cowboy and his horse. It's a classic that, like Asterix, I read through my whole childhood, though I always rather preferred Asterix.
The other one is a grown-up comic called 'La vierge du Bordel' or 'Miss Pas Touche' ('Miss Don't Touch Me' in English). It's a horror thriller/pulp story about a girl who follows her sister's killers to a brothel where she becomes a virgin dominatrix. But, well, there are no dudes in it, at least ones that aren't terrible people, not that the women are all that nice either. Queerness exists, but it's not male gayness, and there is period-accurate but possibly annoying description of a magnificent regal character called Josephine as a "madame-monsieur". The only reason I'm mentioning it is because it's a grown up French comic I actually enjoyed.
Oh, and there's Canardo. Depressing and sexist and horrible, with anthropomorphic animals. Loved it, but I'm hard-pressed to say why.
