Elsje #6

A great entry point into the world of Elsje, this 2018 album from Hercules and Valkema carries the irresistible title Robo Sapiens — and the cover delivers on that promise immediately. Young Elsje stands surrounded by yellow robotic arms and mechanical components, while a detached robot head floats nearby and a second view of Elsje looks on from the right, all rendered in Valkema's clean, expressive ligne claire style. It's a playful, energetic image that perfectly captures the charm of this Dutch all-ages series.
