Prof Oja-Aha #3

The third volume of Roel Venderbosch's Prof Oja-Aha arrives with the subtitle Spuug & Smeerolie — promising 26 explorations of the human body and technology. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a wide-mouthed, bug-eyed character looms large over a row of giant teeth while a smaller, red-nosed figure clutches a plunger and eyes a toppling cream cake with weary resignation. Venderbosch's bold, cartoonish linework and striking blue-orange palette make this 2012 Roeland release an immediately appealing pick for anyone who enjoys their science served with a generous side of slapstick.
