Dickie

In Dickie, Pieter De Poortere's long-running series for avant-verlag that began in 2016, the hapless, eternally downtrodden title character navigates a world of deadpan absurdity and quiet misfortune. De Poortere's signature minimalist cartooning—with its simple, expressive lines and stark, often wordless panels—creates a uniquely melancholic yet darkly humorous tone. This first issue establishes the series' enduring appeal: a deeply human, utterly original comic that finds profound comedy in life's small failures.
