About the series
Boerke, the perpetually downtrodden simpleton, has been stumbling through mishaps since 2016 in a series of wordless, one-page gags published by Nanuq. Belgian cartoonist Pieter de Poortere is the singular creative force behind these four issues, each a collection of deadpan, slapstick vignettes that find humor in Boerke's relentless bad luck. The series stands as a modern, silent-comedy gem in the European comic tradition, proving that pure visual storytelling can still deliver sharp, universal laughs.
