Vader & Zoon (Father & Son) was a Dutch newspaper gag-a-day comic strip, drawn by Peter van Straaten. It was published in Het Parool from November 12, 1968 until 1987 and Van Straaten's most famous and popular work. [1]
Vader & Zoon centers around a conservative, square father and the generation gap between him and his progressive, intellectual, socially conscious young son. [2] It captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s and early 1970s and poked fun at many political and social themes. Apart from the father and son there were no notable recurring characters. The strip was published in a text comics format, being one of the last Dutch comics to be so, as the format lost popularity in the 1960s.
Originally the strip was published weekly, but due to its popularity it started appearing three times a week and eventually daily. [3] [4] The cartoons were published in pocket books by company Van Gennep.
Vader & Zoon was so popular at the time that the Dutch TV channel AVRO adapted it into a TV sitcom in 1974. Guus Hermus played the part of Vader, while Gees Linnebank acted as his son. [5]
A comic strip is a sequence of cartoons, arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, these have been published in newspapers and magazines, with daily horizontal strips printed in black-and-white in newspapers, while Sunday papers offered longer sequences in special color comics sections. With the advent of the internet, online comic strips began to appear as webcomics.
Bandes dessinées, abbreviated BDs and also referred to as Franco-Belgian comics, are comics that are usually originally in French and created for readership in France and Belgium. These countries have a long tradition in comics, separate from that of English-language comics. Belgium is a mostly bilingual country, and comics originally in Dutch are culturally a part of the world of bandes dessinées, even if the translation from French to Dutch far outweighs the other direction.
A British comic is a periodical published in the United Kingdom that contains comic strips. It is generally referred to as a comic or a comic magazine, and historically as a comic paper. As of 2014, the three longest-running comics of all time were all British.

In Dutch the most common designation for the whole art form is "strip", whereas the word "comic" is used for the (usually) soft cover American style comic book format and its derivatives, typically containing translated US superhero material. This use in colloquial Dutch of the adopted English word for that format can cause confusion in English language texts.

Celebrity comics are comics based on the fame and popularity of a celebrity. They are a byproduct of merchandising around a certain media star or franchise and have existed since the mass media and comics came into existence in the 19th century. Celebrity comics are usually not held in high esteem by critics, because of their purely commercial nature. They are solely created to capitalize on media trends and therefore published so quickly and cheaply that drawings and narratives tend to be of very low quality.
