Het Groene Woud

Jommeke is a Belgian comic strip series in publication since 1955. It was created by Jef Nys and can be defined as a humoristic children's adventure series. Jommeke, an 11-year-old boy, is the series' main protagonist. It was originally published in Kerk en Leven, before moving to Het Volk, where it ran until the newspaper ceased to exist in 2010. It is now published in Het Nieuwsblad, De Gentenaar and De Standaard. Jommeke is popular in Flanders and, together with Suske en Wiske, is the best-selling comic strip in the region. However, its success remained a phenomenon only in Belgium and the Netherlands.
