Urbanus vertelt #15

The fifteenth installment of Mieleke Melleke Mol brings a wonderfully chaotic Sinterklaas night to life, with the cover showing two young children enthusiastically scrubbing a horse in a big sudsy washtub — water splashing everywhere — while the bearded, mitre-wearing Sinterklaas watches contentedly from an armchair. A tiny Zwarte Piet with a garden hose adds to the delightful mayhem at the bottom corner, all rendered in Urbanus and Dirk Stallaert's cheerful, expressive style. Published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 2014, this is a charming slice of Belgian holiday humor that fans of the series will thoroughly enjoy.
