F.C. De Kampioenen presenteert Vertongen & Co #44

This 44th installment of Vertongen & Co — part of the beloved F.C. De Kampioenen universe — promises plenty of chaotic comedy, as the cover makes immediately clear: a bespectacled man in an orange jacket is tumbling wildly off a bridge, arms flailing, while onlookers watch from the railings above and a group of children and an elderly woman observe from the side. The title Idool op de Dool (roughly "Idol on the Loose") perfectly matches the frantic, slapstick energy radiating from this Swerts & Vanas and Tom Bouden collaboration, published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 2024. If you enjoy warm Belgian comic humor with expressive characters and lively urban settings, this is a thoroughly entertaining addition to the series.
