Peter van Straaten is one of Holland's best known cartoonists. He became especially known for his daily newspaper comic 'Vader en Zoon' ('Father and Son'), a parody that depicted life with generational conflict during the 1960s and 70s and was printed in Het Parool. Besides his political illustrations and books on Dutch politics such as 'Bij Ons in het Dorp' and 'De Janboel', Peter has been drawing cartoons of "scenes from daily life of common people" for more than twenty years. |

Van Straaten's 'daily life' cartoons have been published in several newspapers and magazines (Het Parool, Vrij Nederland, Algemeen Dagblad) and collected in various cartoon books. Peter van Straaten also produces a day-by-day calendar every year, called 'Peter's Zeurkalender'. Besides being a talented artist, he is also a gifted writer. For years, his column "Agnes - scenes from a messy life" was one of the most popular features of the weekly magazine, Vrij Nederland. Another comic by Van Straaten is the dark and mysterious 'Llewelyn Fflint', which appeared with scripts by Yvan Delporte in Pep magazine. |

 'In Our Little Village' was a metaphor for Dutch society, in which our prime minister Van Agt had a dual role as pastor and a police officer. |
