Who's your favorite character? I like Kiekeboe, Fanny and also Van Der Neffe the most.
Which Kiekeboe character do you resemble the most ? To be honest, I hope that I don't resemble any of them. Maybe I'm a little like Konstantinopel, who is mostly active behind the scenes.
Favorite Kiekeboe comic book? Number 36 Het witte Bloed is my all time favorite because I started working on it while I was still wearing breeches.
