Sigmund #5

The fifth collected session of Peter de Wit's beloved Dutch comic strip arrives with a cover rendered by Hans Buying — a wonderfully absurd three-dimensional tableau featuring Sigmund himself, bespectacled and suit-clad, peering intently into a fishbowl while tipping what appears to be a small bottle into the water. There's a deadpan wit to the image that perfectly captures the strip's wry, offbeat sensibility. At 14,95 NLG, this 1998 volume is a charming addition to any shelf celebrating the best of Dutch cartooning.
