The Adventures of Nero

Marc Sleen's Flemish favorite, Nero, gets a tall gable by Place Saint-Géry, painted in May 1995. His cast stack themselves into a wobbly human ladder up the wall toward a figure clinging to a tree, above a painted country lane and village steeple. It is one of the route's nods to the Dutch-language comics most Belgians grew up with, and the square around it is full of cafés for a break.
