The circus burns
Lino Wirag

(The circus burns) is a lighthearted and humoresque story about the lion LÖWE, the seal ROBBY and the clown PIPPO fleeing from their dictatorlike circus dompteur and his brutal guarddog BRUTUS. Soon they stumble into manifold adventures, get caught by spiders and have to help a village of skunks to get rid of two unwanted, wellknown imposterors.

The 4-panel-compositions cite the classical newspaper strip, but combine the episodic plot to a larger story arc. The drawings are rendered in a simplicstic, trondheimesque style, with decisively black and white areas. The light, sometimes hillariously plain humour can be enjoyed by adults and younger readers alike.
