Het jaar van de olifant #2

The second chapter of W. Linthout's Het Jaar van de Olifant arrives with a cover rendered entirely in cool teal tones, showing a bespectacled figure perched atop what appears to be a large diagonal surface, one arm raised, a bottle in hand, with a newspaper ("De Gazet") and a café sign flanking the scene. Subtitled "Er is maar één kleur" — There Is Only One Color — the monochromatic palette feels like a deliberate artistic statement in itself. Linthout's loose, sketch-like linework gives the whole image an immediacy that makes this 2007 Bries release genuinely compelling.
