The Old Geezers (French: Les Vieux Fourneaux) is a comic book series written by Wilfrid Lupano [fr] with illustrations by Paul Cauuet [fr]. It was published in France beginning in 2014 by Dargaud. The English version was published by Ablaze beginning in 2020; Montana Kane is the translator.[1]

It is about three elderly men who are best friends: Antoine, Emile, and Pierre; all of them have leftist political views.

Publishers Weekly wrote that Volume 1 "lampoons the more outrageous aspects of leftist groups".[1]

Two films were based on the series, Tricky Old Dogs [fr] (in French, Les Vieux Fourneaux) and Tricky Old Dogs 2 [fr].

The Wolf in Underpants was made as a spin-off of The Old Geezers.[2]
