Jan van Haasteren
(Harold Hurry, Jean Pion)
(b. 24/2/1936, The Netherlands)
Jan van Haasteren began his comics career assisting Loek van Delden on the comic 'Smidje Verholen'. He joined the Marten Toonder studios in 1962, where he started out working at the animation department. He eventually joined the comics production. From 1963 to 1966, his main work was pencilling the strip 'Kappie'. He also illustrated numerous stories with the Disney character 'Hiawatha' for the Donald Duck weekly, as well as comics with 'The Flintstones'. Van Haasteren left Toonder in 1966, and joined the studios of Joop Geesink. There, he worked on the series 'Rick de Kikker'.
He started freelancing in 1966, and the Toonder studios remained one of his main clients. He began several series of his own, such as 'Bartje en Opa' (text by Patty Klein). He took over 'Polletje Pluim' from Dick Matena for a while, and did pencil work on the series 'Horre, Harm en Hella' (1969) and 'Aafje Anders' (1970), as well as five 'Panda' stories. In addition, he did promotional work for Joop Geesink's 'Loekie de Leeuw'. He cooperated with Patty Klein again on the strip 'Sjaak en Oom George', that appeared in the KRO Gids.
