Description[]

Victor and Hugo are a pair of totally incompetent French crooks - no crime is too large or too small for them to undertake, the only certainty is that they will never succeed.

The two crazy criminals are brothers but they could not be more dissimilar. All they have in common is their complete success at failure.

Together they own Naughtiness International, an organisation run from their mobile Headquarters - an extremely ramshackle van parked particularly badly. Neither can remember which one can drive much to the chagrin of Interpol - their pet parrot who doubles up as a telephone and answering service.

Together they spend their lives falling, crashing, blowing themselves up, breaking out of banks and into prisons, joining the scouts, even stealing space ships and being chased by aliens. It's a world where reality never gets in the way of a good adventure and everything conspires against the perfect crime.
