Polle

From 2021 onward, Belgian publisher Péridot has released Polle, a 14-issue comic series that reimagines the classic Flemish folk hero as a modern-day child navigating a whimsical, surreal world. The series blends slapstick humor with gentle social commentary, drawn in a distinctive ligne claire style that nods to the character’s storied cartoon origins. While the creative team is not specified in available records, Polle stands out for its fresh, family-friendly take on a beloved cultural figure, updating his antics for contemporary readers without losing the charm that made him a staple of Belgian comics.
