Dientje

Dientje is a Dutch comics character who debuted in the girls' magazine Tina in 1980, sharing her stories with characters including Tina Ruysdal, Marlies, and the Visser family in the Oberon girls' comics universe.

A homegrown Dutch comics gem, Dientje made her debut in the pages of Tina back in 1980, brought to life by writer Andries Brandt and the wonderfully expressive linework of artist Purita Campos. Born in the Bronze Age and published across an impressive 23 years, she proved herself a genuine fixture of the beloved Oberon girls' comics world, sharing her stories with characters like Tina Ruysdal, Marlies, and the Visser family across Tina and Tina Topstrip. With 84 catalogued appearances — including two collector-recognized key issues — Dientje is exactly the kind of enduring, warmly drawn character that rewards anyone who digs into the rich tradition of Dutch strip magazines.
