About the artist.
Dick Bruynesteyn
(Dik Bruynesteyn, Dik)
(b. 7/7/1927, The Netherlands)

Dik Bruynesteyn started his career drawing sports caricatures for the newspaper De Haagse Courant. In 1953 he became a full-time illustrator at the journal Het Vrije Volk. In 1959 he co-founded the sports magazine Sport-Toto for which he made the football strips 'Kris Krek' and 'Otto'. When the magazine went bankrupt, Bruynesteyn created 'Fritzchen Wunder' for a German magazine, while still doing sports illustrations and caricatures.

In 1967 he started 'Appy Happy' for Het Vrije Volk, a comic about a football team. Two years later, he replaced it with 'Chris Crack', but in 1970, he returned to 'Appie Happie', this time spelled in Dutch. This comic became Bruynesteyn's most famous, and appeared in several albums.
