Collectie Fenix #170

A cheerful scene sets the tone for this 2023 Belgian reprint from 't Vlaams Stripcentrum's Collectie Fenix line — on the airstairs of a passenger jet, a red-dressed woman plants an enthusiastic kiss on a uniformed fellow while a tall man in a pinstripe suit looks on in surprise, and a brass band waits on the tarmac below with a bouquet of flowers at the ready. It's the kind of delightful comic chaos that the Dees Dubbel en Cesar series does so well, promising a story full of mistaken identities and happy misunderstandings. "Een Samenloop van Omstandigheden" — a confluence of circumstances, indeed!
