Aanstoot (Offence) is subtitled ‘52 Indecent Drawings’, and gives full rein to Peter van Straaten’s unbridled imagination. These skilfully drawn cartoons give a new meaning to ‘public sex’, depicting erotic encounters from the street, the lecture room, the restaurant, the swimming pool – even the airport departure lounge.
