Arjan Boltjes reviewed Fokke & Sukke kunnen het niet alleen by n/a

3 stars
Reasonable read. From time to time the comics - it's the 15th anniversary of the Fokke & Sukke comic - are pretty good, although for quite a few of them it seems to me they were more fit for the moment they were created, likely fitting the news.

At a certain moment I stopped writing down the names of authors , but the really good columns could be counted on one or maybe two hands. This is partly due to the outdated topics in this bundle - the bundle is over fifteen year old, and a lot of the columns were written …

At a certain moment I stopped writing down the names of authors , but the really good columns could be counted on one or maybe two hands. This is partly due to the outdated topics in this bundle - the bundle is over fifteen year old, and a lot of the columns were written for the tenth anniversary. And due to the mix of people involved in the writing. Some of them are simply poor writers, some are reasonable writers with nothing interesting to say, a few of them are good writers.
Time to put this book in a public bookcase.
