Kamagurka
1956–
Luc Zeebroek, known professionally as Kamagurka, was born on 5 May 1956 in Belgium. He is best known for his absurdist humor across multiple media—as a cartoonist, comic strip artist, painter, comedian, singer, playwright, and television producer. His most famous comic strip creation is "Bert," a character whose surreal, often deadpan misadventures became a staple of Belgian comics. Kamagurka also wrote scenarios for "Cowboy Henk," a strip drawn by his frequent collaborator Herr Seele.
His career in comics spans from 1985 to 2024, with credits as artist, colorist, inker, letterer, and writer on 26 issues. Major titles include *Sjors en Sjimmie Stripblad*, *Cowboy Henk*, and several Bert collections such as *Bert intiem*, *Bezige Bert*, *Broodje Bert*, and *Beste Bert*. His work is marked by a playful, nonsensical edge that influenced Belgian humor.
Kamagurka's legacy rests on his versatility and the lasting popularity of Bert, though specific awards are not recorded in the available material. He remains active, continuing to produce work that challenges conventional comic storytelling.
