As an Elvis fan and singer this one hurt, but it was just too funny not to share. 😅

Pieter De Poortere is a Belgian comic artist, children's book illustrator, graphic artist and animator, most famous for his internationally succesful pantomime comic "Boerke," about the mishaps of a generally unlucky moustached farmer. The series combines an innocent-looking graphic style with pitch black comedy. De Poortere is also known for his large crowd paintings. He is part of the new wave of the Flemish humorists, together with Kim Duchateau (see the EGN+ index for samples of Esther Verkest), Jeroom, Bart Schoofs and Nix. --Lambiek, with Johnny's edits

What's also nice is that his comics are largely wordless, so the original Dutch / Flemish collections are usually fine no matter the reader's native tongue(s).
