Mickey Lost 't Op, by Michel Nadorp
Michel Nadorp works for the Dutch Disney art studio since 1980. He started his career a year earlier as an apprentice to Fred Julsing, who taught him the finer points of the profession. In this period, Michel drew his first comic, 'Kick en de Onderwereld', which remained unpublished. Julsing recommended Michel to the Dutch Disney team. Here, he started out drawing covers for the now-cancelled Mickey Maandblad.

Nadorp's main activity is drawing covers and illustrations for the Dutch Disney publications (nearly all the covers of the pockets are Michel's). However, he also makes an occasional comic, with characters like Donald Duck, Dombo, Goofy or Mickey Mouse. He is the artist of the sections 'Mickey Lost 't Op' and 'Goofy Geeft Les', both written by Jos Beekman.
