Flemish cartoonist Nix created these stickers for an awareness campaign for the Flemish Children’s Rights Agency. Even if you don’t understand Dutch, I think it’s pretty clear what the message is…
The Flemish Agency for Children’s Rights published its yearly report yesterday. The sad news is that they once more received more complaints than the year before. The good news is that Nix did their website (with his cute-but-creepy heroes Kinky and Cosy).
Marnix Verduijn, or Nix, teaches cartooning at the Sint Lucas school in Brussels, and is one of the best younger artists around. in 2006, he was awarded the Prize for the Best Debut Album at the Angoulème Festival for Kinky And Cosy. He also frequently publishes in newspapers and magazines in Belgium and France. The portrait above was published on march 14.
Yeti is the Flemish education department’s official magazine for kids in primary school. Rather than make it a dreary, stuffy journal, they opted to pimp it up and took on board two of the best cartoonist this country has to offer : Marnix “Nix” Verduyn and Bart “brt” Schoofs. Here’s a few examples from the latest issue. They’re (almost) textless games, so all you monolingual Anglosaxons should have no trouble understanding them 
The first one is a “spot the errors” cartoon by Bart :
The second one features Nix’s heroes Kinky and Cosy. Kinky (the one with the white rimmed glasses) has had an accident. One of the shards does not belong to her glasses. Can you spot which one ? And also, can you find out exactly how this accident took place ?
