Burka Basics

Peter de Wit’s Burka Basics (2014–present, De Harmonie) is a single-issue comic that offers a pointed, satirical look at cultural and religious identity through the lens of the burka. De Wit, the series’ sole artist, uses his signature deadpan, minimalist style to explore themes of visibility, tradition, and misunderstanding with a light, provocative touch. Though brief, this one-shot stands as a distinctive, thought-provoking entry in Dutch comics, reflecting the country’s ongoing debates around integration and free expression.
