Amsterdam Cartoons

{via}

Every once in a while, I sift through some Dutch blogs on Expat Blogs to see if there are any new and exciting additions to the tight-knit Dutch expat blogger scene. Even though I'm back in Canada now, I will never forget those bloggers who were so kind, supportive, and welcoming when my blog began back in Hilversum.

This evening I found a blog called Munt Thee (mint tea in Dutch), who had just posted about her favourite Amsterdam blog, XTOTL. She showed a few of the cartoons featured on XTOTL, each depicting comical daily life in Amsterdam. I've spent about an hour sifting through the site, and I have to say that it is so refreshingly genius that I just had to post about it! Chronicling everything from the Dutch gangster teens hanging out near the FEBO to the white-jean clad Dutchies strolling the Herengracht, Toby Morris' cartoons are phenomenally well-done and such a dead-on depiction of Amsterdam life.

Here were a few of my favourites from his site. Now go check out the rest yourself!

I'm sure all of you expats have seen him there too.

Ijscuypje was a staple in me and Gabriel's diets this summer. Stampot is a Dutch winter food, which signifies the end of the summer season in the Netherlands!
