Kutbeesten, de verzamelde werken #[nn]

A collected edition of Jan-Willem Spakman's delightfully grumpy natural history, Kutbeesten: De Verzamelde Werken gathers his comedic animal strips in one handsome volume. The warm brown cover is packed with an parade of hilariously unimpressed creatures — a toucan, sloth, platypus, owl, vulture, narwhal, porcupine, kiwi, goat, turtle, woodlouse, bee, and a few bewildered fish, each rendered with Spakman's wonderfully expressive linework. If you've ever suspected that most animals are quietly furious about their existence, this 2019 collection makes a very persuasive case.
