First frame of third page (should be second frame if I followed my usual practice, but I like this more):

Deep on the bottom
of the ocean
lived
a whale.
She was
a hundred thousand
years
old.
This won the Willy Vandersteen Prize last month, for the best comic in Dutch of the last two years. (I raise my eyebrows a little at this, as Zidrou, the writer, is a Francophone, and the book was published in French as La Baleine bibliothèque before the Dutch version came out.) I previously read and enjoyed Judith Vanistendael's De maagd and de negerget the French version here and the Dutch version here.
