Kim's best known comic is 'Esther Verkest'. This sexy heroine, who lives in an absurd world full of freaks, disturbing fairytale characters and moody gnomes, has appeared in men's magazine P-Magazine from 2001 on. In the Netherlands, 'Esther' gags have appeared in MYX and in Eppo magazine.
Furthermore Duchateau has created one-panel cartoons in the free newspaper De Zondag since 2014. He publishes a weekly strip on the children's page of NRC Handelsblad and on the online news site Apache. His work has been published in France too, namely in L'Écho des Savanes and Fluide Glacial. Oogachtend brought out several collections with Kim's work, starting with 'Unne en andere vingerkrampen' in 1999. This was followed by several other books, such as 'Uitzonderlijk Zwaar Vervoer' (2001, which had a foreword by Herr Seele), 'De Vlucht van de Kloothommel' (2003) and 'Herman, de Lichtrode Ridder' (2003, a gay parody of Willy Vandersteen's 'De Rode Ridder', which was drawn by Tom Bouden).
