Detective bureau Babel & Knetterton

A charmingly obscure Dutch oddity, Detective bureau Babel & Knetterton is a three-issue comic series from A.Teeuwen Holland (ATH) that launched in 1957 and has somehow continued to the present day. Created entirely by Lou Visser, who wrote and drew the entire run, this series follows the titular detective duo through a handful of delightfully eccentric, self-contained mysteries. Its significance lies in its status as a deeply personal, almost folkloric artifact of Dutch comics history—a tiny, persistent spark of homegrown adventure from a single creator.
