{"product_id":"dickie-does-america-pieter-de-poortere-9781963511123","title":"Dickie Does America","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn \"R\" rated absurdist comic strip for the 12 year old boy hidden in all of us, Dickie critiques western cultural pillars in an age of political and social tribalism.\u003c\/b\u003eImagine Charlie Brown dropping out of highschool, moving to Belgium, and developing a bit of a drinking problem. Meet Dickie, a Belgian yokel with good intentions but dubious critical thinking skills, navigating a modern world with inadequate emotional intelligence. Like the football yanked out from under Charlie, he always ends up on the wrong side of every situation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis satirical cartoon skewers modern society, shining an uncomfortable light into the dark recesses of our civilization, where our individual, well-meaning choices conflict with our culture's values and morals. It's the dark humor of \u003ci\u003eThe Far Side\u003c\/i\u003e and the social\/political satire of \u003ci\u003eThe Simpsons\u003c\/i\u003e, a sophisticated humor wrapped in disarmingly simple illustrations with unending tragic consequences for our favorite antihero. Dickie will cause you to laugh out loud while simultaneously blushing - hoping no one will ask you to explain what is so funny.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pieter de Poortere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1963511123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963511123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flare Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Pieter de Poortere","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867199623423,"sku":"9781963511123","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8be5287-5a4c-4e8c-8e84-9d0b94ca461f.jpg?v=1747454155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dickie-does-america-pieter-de-poortere-9781963511123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
