Goossens is evidently a humorist and master of the surreal, who does a lot of work for Fluide Glacial magazine.

Goossens' stories can be best compared to the absurd sketches of the British comedy group Monty Python. He picks conventions from literature, film, television and history, giving them a surreal twist. His serial 'Route Vers L'Enfer' is a war film pastiche starring Father Christmas, while 'La Vie d'Einstein' tears down the myth of the theory of relativity and its inventor.

He often uses the same documentary approach as his mentor Gotlib, as his stories are populated with TV hosts, interviewees and talk show guests. Besides being a cartoonist, Goossens is also a lecturer and researcher in artificial intelligence at the University of Paris VIII. --Bedetheque
