Guust chronologisch #3

The lovably hapless Guust dominates this cheerful yellow cover, flashing a thumbs-up with his signature gap-toothed grin — blissfully unbothered by the chaos unfolding behind him: a smoking desk buried under towering piles of paper, and a frantic figure fleeing in the background. This third chronological volume from Dupuis, subtitled Heet van de Naald — wait, Heet van de Flater — perfectly captures the gentle absurdist comedy that makes Franquin and Jidéhem's creation so endearing. A delightful 2020 collection for fans of Belgian comics at their most charmingly anarchic.
