De dikke Vader & Zoon

Peter van Straaten's long-running newspaper strip Vader & Zoon is collected in this Dutch-language series from De Harmonie, spanning 2000 to 2017. Across a single, thick volume, it gathers decades of the iconic, wordless single-panel cartoons that chronicle the prickly yet affectionate relationship between a grumpy father and his long-suffering son. Van Straaten's deceptively simple, elegant linework and sharp observational humor made this a beloved staple of Dutch daily life, capturing timeless generational friction with warmth and wit.
