Sigmund #14

Peter de Wit's long-running Dutch strip reaches its fourteenth session, and the cover captures the absurdist spirit perfectly: Sigmund, rendered in de Wit's clean, rubbery cartoon style, strides forward in a red-and-white number 14 football jersey and roller skates, dribbling what is unmistakably a giant Xanax pill instead of a ball. It's a wonderfully deadpan gag that says everything about the strip's blend of therapy-culture wit and everyday anxiety — all set against a cheerful lime-green background that makes the joke land with a smile.
