While making De Aanslag (The Attack), the idea arose to have the, at least for me, iconic criminal quartet De Daltons commit an attack on a chair. After all, a chair has a leg for everyone of them. Not every chair is suitable for this. Ultimately I came to Rietveld’s military chair. When the drawing was almost finished, I suddenly realized that the Daltons lived in a completely different time, well before Rietveld. No idea why I didn’t think of that sooner. I then looked through my Lucky Luke albums and kept coming across the same type of chair and with a little good will it was also suitable: The Assault II.
