Dickie

Pieter De Poortere is a Flemish cartoonist, most famous for his internationally succesful pantomime comic 'Boerke' ('Dickie', 2000), about the mishaps of a generally unlucky moustached farmer. The series combines an innocent-looking graphic style with pitch black comedy. De Poortere is furthermore known for his large crowd paintings. He is part of the new wave of the Flemish humorists, together with Kim Duchateau, Jeroom, Bart Schoofs and Nix. Text (c) Lambiek
