De Kiekeboes #144

Issue 144 of the beloved Belgian comedy series De Kiekeboes arrives with a cover that sets the tone perfectly: the Kiekeboe family tackles a gym session with wildly mixed results. A flexible blonde woman bends herself into an impressive arc, a young boy tumbles upside-down between her legs, a woman clings to a wall ladder with one leg kicked high in the air, and a mustachioed man — looking thoroughly unimpressed with himself — struggles through a push-up while sweat flies. Published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 2015, this "Losse Flodders" installment promises the warm, chaotic family humor that has kept this series a staple of Dutch-language comics for decades.
