This satirical newspaper strip (the title means The Way of Life in Smallville in English) takes place in an unspecified small town, in which we follow a multitude of highly different private and official characters going about their business. In the provincial Lidenlund all sorts of human frailties are thriving such as double standards, narrow mindedness, curiosity, failed ideals, nepotism, and gossip, but all is served with great and amiable affection.
