Boerke is a Flemish cartoon character created by Pieter De Poortere in 2001. The name is a diminutive of boer and so means "little farmer" in Dutch. He has been translated into other languages such as French where he is known as Dickie. The character is a farmer but is often shown in other costumes and settings as an anti-hero. The comic strips are typically visual jokes with no text.[1]
The character's comic strips appear in magazines and newspapers such as Knack, have been collected in book form and are exhibited at a museum in Brussels – the Belgian Comic Strip Center.[2] An animation has been shown on the Flemish TV station, VRT.[3]
In 2022, the character was used to lead a campaign against plastic pollution.[3]
Reception
The first collection of Boerke won a prize as the best comic in the Dutch language.[4]
