Dunce

From the far reaches of Tromsø, Norway, well above the Polar Circle, emerges a comic strip that has charmed and amused audiences far and wide. Dunce, created by Jens K. Styve, is not just a comic; it's a journey into the heart of the everyday, mixed with the unique whimsy of life in one of the world's most northern cities.

In this first English collection of Dunce, we follow the quirky adventures of Brego, Jens K, and Gustav. Brego finds himself entangled in the complexities of a troublesome relationship, Jens K vanishes beneath a table, and Gustav ambitiously sets out to single-handedly save the rainforests. A must-read for enthusiasts of classic comics like Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes, this book blends everyday life with delightful absurdity, all depicted through Styve's captivating artwork.

Dunce is running daily in 30+ newspapers across Scandinavia, and has earned multiple awards and accolades for its heartfelt humor and distinctive storytelling. This collection is a must-have for fans of comic art, and a delightful introduction for newcomers. Dunce is also a popular strip among young readers.

Join Gustav, Brego and Jens on a journey where humor and humanity meet under the Northern Lights.
