Er kan wel wat zout uit

In Er kan wel wat zout uit, Peter van Straaten delivers a single, sharp-witted volume for Rainbow Pockets, collecting his signature, minimalist cartoons that skewer everyday Dutch life with a dry, observational humor. Published in 2014, this collection stands as a concise snapshot of van Straaten's decades-spanning career, distilling his knack for capturing the absurdities of domestic and social routines into a pocket-sized format. It matters as a compact entry point into the work of one of the Netherlands' most beloved cartoonists, whose understated line and wry captions have defined a certain strain of Dutch comic sensibility.
