A collection of De Poortere’s popular one-page graphic stories about “Boerke” (“Wee farmer”) or sometimes his cousin “Hoerke” (“Wee whore”) who endure the craziness of the universe, usually dying in some all too plausible way at the end. Not really for me; too much punching down, rather than punching up, and an attitude of depressed fatalism leading nowhere very much.
