Maaike

Maaike Hartjes' self-titled series, launched in 1998, is a deeply personal and diaristic comic strip that captures the quiet, often humorous moments of everyday life. Published as a single issue, it showcases Hartjes' signature minimalist, childlike art style and her ability to find profound meaning in the mundane. As both writer and artist, Hartjes has created an intimate, ongoing visual journal that resonates for its raw honesty and gentle wit, making it a standout in the world of autobiographical comics.
