De Neef van Prikkebeen

Daan Hoeksema’s De Neef van Prikkebeen was a single-issue comic published by Gebroeders Koster in 1909, with its story continuing in newspaper form through 1950. A spin-off from the classic Dutch character Prikkebeen, it follows the adventures of his nephew in a style that blends folk humor with early comic-strip storytelling. Hoeksema’s illustrations give the series a distinctive, charmingly rough-hewn quality that marks an early milestone in Dutch comics history. Though brief as a standalone issue, its long-running newspaper presence made it a beloved fixture for generations of readers.
