Het Parool

Het Parool, a Dutch newspaper comic strip series launched in 1941 and still running, is best known for its long-running daily strips, most notably Mannetje & Mannetje by Peter van Straaten. Published in the eponymous Amsterdam newspaper, the series reflects a sharp, satirical take on Dutch life and politics, with van Straaten’s wry, minimalist style becoming a defining voice of postwar Dutch cartooning. Its enduring presence in the newspaper makes it a unique, quietly influential chronicle of the nation’s social and political landscape.
