Het afzien van 2019

Since 2019, the Dutch comic series Het afzien van 2019 has offered a singular, year-in-review chronicle, published by Catullus. Anchored by the regular creative trio of John Reid, Bas Geleijnse, and Jean-Marc van Tol—who also provides the art—this single-issue release distills a year of cultural and political absurdity into a sharp, satirical comic. It matters as a concise, artistically unified snapshot of contemporary Dutch life, capturing the spirit of the moment through the lens of its creators' distinctive wit.
