Stop

Orfeu Negro | October 2024 | 48 PAGES | 22 × 28,6 CM | hardcover

A traffic police officer is a rare mammal, even more so than the Bengal tiger, the white rhino or that one person who still writes love letters. For a long time, this species lorded over the concrete jungle, keeping an eye out for danger. But what will happen when traffic lights start popping up all over the place? With a humorous and pun-filled text and colourful hand-painted illustrations, this is the story of agent Simões, the last of the traffic police officers. Let’s find out how a trained sleight of hand and full-bellied STOP can be the only things standing between humanity and disaster.
