A'''''Léonard le Génie''''' is a comic from the Franco-Belgian school by artist Philippe Liegeois and writer Bob de Groot (better known as ''Turk & de Groot''). It follows the eponymous character, inventor Léonard le Génie (Leonardo the Genius, loosely based on real world inventor Leonardo da Vinci) and his clumsy "disciple" Basile.
 
The stories vary in length from one or a few pages up to a whole album. The basic storyline is as follows: Leonardo has thought up some new invention, and needs the help of his assistant to build and/or test it. Basile, being a [[Heavy Sleeper]], first needs to be awoken, using another invention, explosives or just plain old cartoon violence. As the building or testing proceeds, Basile suffers [[Amusing Injuries]], either from his [[Bad Boss|sadistic master]] or through [[Too Dumb to Live|his own incompetence]]. The story usually ends in one of these ways: Basile goes a step too far in annoying Leonardo and is chased by him, Basile finally gets fed up with the abuse and retaliates on Leonardo, or the invention fails spectacularly and both Leonardo and Basile are chased out of town by an [[Torches and Pitchforks|angry mob]].
