De Kiekeboes #110

Album 110 in Merho's long-running Belgian series finds the Kiekeboes tangled up in workplace politics, perfectly captured by a cover that says it all: one harried fellow staggers under a precarious tower of colorful binders while a suited boss lounges behind his desk without a care in the world. The title Baas Boven Baas — "Boss Above Boss" — promises a sharp, comedic look at office hierarchies and the age-old struggle between those who do the work and those who watch it get done. If you enjoy Merho's signature blend of humor and relatable everyday situations, this 2011 entry from Standaard Uitgeverij is a fine addition to the shelf.
