Handjes thuis, dokter van Swieten!

In this Dutch comic series from De Harmonie, Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit bring the absurdly bureaucratic world of Dr. Van Swieten to life, where the titular physician’s well-meaning house calls spiral into surreal, deadpan comedy. Kolk’s clean, expressive art grounds the single-issue story, which launched in 2010 and continues as a sharp, minimalist satire of healthcare and social norms. A cult favorite in the Netherlands, it showcases the duo’s trademark wit and Kolk’s distinctive visual storytelling.
