Arne Zuidhoek studied at the Academy for Fine Arts in Amsterdam. He made his debut in comics in 1968, when a regional newspaper, Nieuw Utrechts Dagblad, published his comic 'Bertus Knijp & Pieter'. Soon afterwards, his comic 'De Viege Nazels' was published by De Havenloods. Zuidhoek also published a comic in an art magazine and his comic 'Co-Starring Ko' began to appear in the Dutch music magazine, the Aloha. Other creations are 'Wally' (Nieuw Utrechts Dagblad) and 'Orgus' (Gandalf). In the early eighties Zuidhoek decided to fully concentrate on his painting work, and retired from the comic world completely. In 2002 there was an exhibition of his pirates in Slot Zeist.
