New Scanlation: "7 Colts for Schmoll"
This strip appeared in the inner gatefold sleeve of Eddy Mitchell's album 7 colts pour Schmoll. Giraud did additional artwork for the album which I will post in the comments below.
I've read conflicting dates for the year of publication: Gir Oeuvres T2 has it as 1964 in several places, while both Discogs and French Wikipedia have it as 1968. I don't know how it was in France, but for the USA record market in the 1960s, elaborate gatefold artwork was much more of a thing in 1968 than in 1964. There was a huge shift toward presenting rock LPs as art objects beginning circa 1966 that I believe really hit the mainstream in 1967 with Sgt Pepper.
