Cowboy Henk joins in with the worldwide frenzy around Daft Punk’s resurrection. From this week’s Humo Magazine.

In today’s Mutts strip, Patrick McDonnell pays hommage to Dutch modernist painter Piet Mondrian. And while he’s at it, he has his characters get all meta about his own medium. Better than your average Sunday comic, if you ask me.

The Clear Line tradition in the Low Lands seems to be saved. Peter Willems delivered this illustration for a recent special biking issue of the De Morgen daily, which clearly shows influence by Swarte en Meulen (and even a cameo by the latter).
Willems specializes in the creation of isometric information graphics. He mostly uses vector-based techniques, but also likes to sharpen his pencils once in a while. Check out his website for more amazing examples of his (licensable) artwork, and for a few peeks behind the curtain of his creation techniques.
