Vader & Zoon

A long-running Dutch newspaper strip by Peter van Straaten, Vader & Zoon ran from 1971 to 1988 across 16 issues from publisher Van Gennep. The series follows the timeless, gently absurd generational friction between a father and his son, with van Straaten’s wry, minimalist linework and droll humor capturing everyday domestic life. Its enduring popularity in the Netherlands stems from its universal, affectionate take on family dynamics, making it a beloved staple of Dutch comic strips.
