Guust chronologisch #8

The eighth volume in Dupuis's chronological Guust collection arrives with a gloriously bold red cover, where the lovably hapless Gaston recoils in surprise as a battered old horn lets loose a chaotic screech — musical notes flying off a crumpled instrument that's clearly seen better days. Titled Flaters bij de vleet ("Blunders by the Bucketful"), it perfectly captures the cheerful catastrophe that defines this beloved Belgian series. If you're a fan of laugh-out-loud slapstick and endearingly well-meaning disasters, this 2020 collection belongs on your shelf.
