Wil Raymakers is best known as the creator of the 'Boes' strip, together with writer Thijs Wilms. This "silent strip" features the animal kingdom in all kinds of hilarious situations, and was published in several newspapers (from 1980), magazines (Eppo/Wordt Vervolgd, Suske en Wiske Weekblad) and book collections (published by Drukwerk from 1981-89, and Standaard until 1993). The strip was also made into a animated television series called 'Ox Tales' by Telescreen/TV Tokyo in 1988/89. Prior to 'Boes', Raymakers made the strip 'Dierenleed' with writers Ronald van Deursen and Thijs Wilms, published by Drukwerk.
