Hälge [fotobok] #26

Lars Mortimer's beloved Nordic comic strip gets another delightful collection with Hälge: Touché — Bättre fly än illa fäkta. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a hapless green-clad skier faces off against a triumphant, grinning moose in a snowy forest, ski poles raised like fencing foils — with a small bird perched in a tree cheerfully witnessing the whole absurd duel. If you enjoy dry Scandinavian humor played out between a put-upon human and an infuriatingly smug ungulate, this 2024 volume from Bokförlaget Semic/Egmont is exactly the cozy, laugh-filled read you're looking for.
