Sunday Funnies: BOES
Boes ("ox tails" in English) is a Dutch comic strip that runs in some Dutch-language newspapers and magazines. As far as I know (from what the interwebs tell me) it is a currently running strip (?), but these selections are from 1979-1980.
That's all I got, folks; I really don't know much else about this strip. I'm no expert on foreign (non-US) comics, but I am an expert on what I like, and what I think is 'good stuff'. I have four collections of this particular strip, so expect to see it more than once.
In case you're asking for my opinion (yeah right), I like this strip because of the very fluid animation in the art and also because of the wordless 'international' quality of it. If I had to cite a third reason, I'd say that this guys art reminds me of Walt Kelly for some reason.
Check it out. It's good stuff; have I ever steered (bad pun='steered') ya wrong before?

That last strip at the end with the ox chowing down on some grass with a few buds would become the main character of this series. You can find out a bit more about it here (there was even an animated series that was released on VHS in the US)...
