Reviews

[Diz · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a well-drawn gag comic, but the jokes are just OK. It feels like the intended audience is children, so perhaps younger children would enjoy this.

[Mathew · Rating 4 out of 5]

Debuting in the late 1950s, Bollie en Billie (or Boule et Bill) follow the antics of one boy and his dog. Written as a potential rival to Schulz's 'Peanuts' it feels more gag-orientated than philosophical and in that way is, perhaps, better pitched to the intended younger audience. Each spread consists of a series of panels leading to a final-panel punchline and the whole thing looks and works well; intended for newspaper formats I suppose. This is gentle, fun humour with a great cocker spaniel as the star.

[Carol · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun import for fans of Calvin and Hobbes and Garfield.
