Argus '12 #[nn]

René Leisink's sharp wit is on full display in this 2012 edition of the Argus annual, promising a news-in-review packed into no fewer than 198½ cartoons. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a customer at a bank counter declares he wants to withdraw euros, while the banker hands over a hefty "Financiële Busluiter" (financial prospectus), its speech bubbles cheerfully warning that the risk of this product is very high. It's a wry, warmly drawn snapshot of the financial anxieties of 2012, and a fine sampler of the dry humor waiting inside.
