StripGlossy #27

A cheerful menagerie takes center stage on this 2023 cover of StripGlossy #27 — a grinning panda raises a glass of red wine while a rooster, a small yellow bird, and a large bear in a plaid jacket crowd the scene with irresistible cartoon energy. The bold "DING BOMMEL DING BOMMEL" lettering anchors the composition, hinting at the Dutch comics world celebrated inside. At €9.95, this issue of the Netherlands' beloved comics magazine looks like a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon with some of the most charming characters in the strip tradition.
