Sigmund Pillen, praten en patiënten #926

Peter de Wit's Sigmund: Pillen, praten en patiënten captures the wry heart of the series right on its cover: a rumpled patient reclines lazily on a classic analyst's couch while the psychiatrist — seated behind him — cheerfully shakes pills from a bottle, capsules tumbling through the air, with a telltale box of tissues nearby. It's a wonderfully deadpan snapshot of modern therapy culture, rendered in De Wit's loose, expressive line work. This 2008 Rainbow Pockets collection promises the kind of gently absurd humor that has made Sigmund one of the more endearing figures in Dutch comics.
