Het dagelijks leven in duizend-en-een tekeningen

Peter van Straaten’s long-running, single-issue series for De Harmonie, Het dagelijks leven in duizend-en-een tekeningen, is exactly what its title promises: a daily-life panorama rendered in a thousand-plus drawings. Van Straaten, the sole writer and artist, captures the mundane, absurd, and poignant moments of Dutch existence with a sharp, sympathetic eye. Though only a single volume, its ongoing publication since 1997 marks it as a quietly essential document of contemporary life, a pocket-sized chronicle of everyday humanity.
