Guust chronologisch #12

Volume 12 of Dupuis' chronological Guust series brings together more misadventures of Belgium's most lovably hapless office worker, and the cover says it all — Guust grins his irrepressible grin while clutching a squawking seagull under one arm and a wild-eyed, startled cat under the other, chaos radiating from every line. Franquin's artwork captures that perfect balance of warmth and anarchic energy that has made this series so enduring. Het Geval Flater is a fine addition to this 2018 collected edition for anyone who appreciates masterfully crafted comic comedy.
