Chris, I’ve never heard of Cowboy Henk?

David, oh, that’s interesting! Wordless works do travel better.

I love this book. I go back and read it every once in a while, and it always makes me laugh. A few of the strips, in particular, are just brilliant.

It seems that there are 4 volumes of his work published in French, by Editions IMHO, at 96 pages each. Given that they’re wordless, these books might be worth tracking down. I’m sure they can be ordered online.

Thanks for bringing attention to a fun book, Johanna.

In case it’s of interest, I found the book hilarious. I laughed a lot. I too couldn’t figure them all out immediately, but it felt worth the effort when I did.

It reminds me of Cowboy Henk–anybody remember that?

Glad you liked it, Johanna. I’m disappointed that we probably won’t be seeing further volumes of this series, too.

It’s an odd little manga, but I was amazed how quickly it grew on me. I love these eccentric mangas that are far off the beaten path. They give you an unedited glimpse into Japanese culture that mainstream manga don’t. I’m glad you liked it too.
