I don't think I've ever seen those. Thanks for the explanation and samples.

I remember this style from the bande dessinée of my youth. I remember there was this great tome of French comics that you could get, and this was always one of them. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called now...
Do you mean one of the magazines or journals like Pilote, or could it have been a special book edition collecting certain comics?
Or that recurrent spirou (weekly maybe)?
I like it. I consider the gore really mild. But then I watch movies and play video games so I'm probably used to it.
Interesting, I did not know about Midam. I like how video game inspired Game Over is. The fact that every strip ends with the protagonist dying reminds me of roguelite games.
I collected some of these as a kid. The humor and sense of timing is really on point. But I've always felt there where a lot of similar jokes recurring in a slightly different format. Combined with the decent but not superb art I always felt it didn't really warrant emptying my fairly empty piggy bank for. I always felt these gags would have worked better as a webcomic...
That being said, for everyone into fantasy/adventure games I can highly recommend picking up at least 1 of these. Kid Paddle/Gameover is really worth knowing about, and at times, a real riot.
I always felt these gags would have worked better as a webcomic…
I totally agree.
These are definitely worth seeing, but work much better as a daily or weekly IMO.

Looked it up, and apparently kid paddle started out as an editorial in Robbedoes (Spirou) magazine, and went from an 'a gag a day' thing to eventually its own comic book. So considering that progression, in combination with 1993 not really being webcomic-era, it all makes a lot of sense really.
