Snippers #7

The seventh volume of Aimée de Jongh's charming Dutch all-ages series Snippers arrives in 2016 with a cover that perfectly captures its cheerful, chaotic spirit — a dark-haired girl in a red shirt gleefully strikes a peace sign for a selfie while absolute mayhem erupts around her: ducklings crossing a zebra crossing, a speeding purple car, a tumbling burglar, panicked bystanders, a fire-breathing creature in the background, and even a stray baby rolling by. De Jongh, who handles the full creative package here — writing, art, inks, and colors — brings a wonderfully energetic, cartoon warmth to every corner of that densely packed street scene. If you enjoy comedy comics where the fun spills right off the cover, Eerst een selfie is an easy, delightful pick-up.
