- In 1988, after Morris had his "poor, lonesome cowboy" quit smoking (after 40 years and dozens of albums) -- replacing Lucky Luke's trademark cigarette with a just-as-ubiquitous blade of grass -- he (the Belgian artist, not Luke) was awarded a medal from the World Health Organisation.
- In 1993, Morris won the special 20th anniversary Grand Prix of the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême.
- Creator of "Lucky Luke" comic books. Over 300 million copies sold world wide.
- He cites animator Walt Disney as an influence on his work.
- In his youth, Morris attended the well-known Jesuit college in Aalst. His math teacher told his parents the youth would unfortunately never succeed in life, as he passed math classes doodling in the margin of his math books. The student uniforms required there inspired his choices for those of the undertakers in his "Lucky Luke" comics.
- Chaque matin, je regarde la rubrique nécrologique du journal. Comme je vois que mon nom n'y figure pas, je me mets au boulot! (Every morning, I look at the obituary in the newspaper. As I see that my name is not there, I get to work!)
