Peter Koch

Peter Koch made his debut in the comic world when the free, bi-monthly, Dutch comic magazine ZozoLala published his strip 'Hersenschim' in 1981. After high school, he became a commercial designer, but in 1992, he made his comeback with 'Bakkerstraat 13' as well as some philosophical comics and 'Bob Beukenoot' for student magazine SUM.

In 1995, he joined comic studio the Zwarte Handel. He drew several comics for Incognito, and developed his own character, 'Dijkman'. He also drew for the children's magazine Ketchup, and is nowadays mainly active as a cartoonist and animator. Since January 2011 his comic 'Zoociety' is published in De Pers. Koch has been influenced by many different artists, but the three most important were Franquin, Peter van Straaten, and Charles Schulz.
