WEgé

Willy Geets, who uses the pseudonym WEgé, studied at the Art Academy in Gent. He published his first comic, 'Kartoffel', in 1975. As a graphic designer, making comics was a hobby for him. When he lost his job, he started the gag series 'Tistjen Dop' (to "dop" means to be on the dole), which ran weekly in Ekspress between 1979 and 1987. This series has been collected in four albums, 'Van De Kaart!' (1983), 'Op Zwart Zaad' (1984), ''t Is Geen Werk' and 'Van de Regen in de Drop' (1986).
