Kappie #141

Marten Toonder's beloved sea captain returns in Kappie en de wijde verten, this 2014 Stripstift collection illustrated with charm and precision by Piet Wijn. The cover finds Kappie — in his trademark naval cap and uniform, pocket watch in hand — side by side with a broad-shouldered fellow sporting a wide sombrero and a knowing raised finger, the pair framed by a window with a sunny European streetscape behind them. It's a warm, inviting snapshot of the wide-ranging adventures that have made Kappie a cherished fixture of Dutch comics.
