Originally, Jesse van Muylwijck studied law in Groningen, where he graduated in 1985. Drawing was one of his hobbies. Inspired by the scene in the courtroom, he started in 1987 his daily strip 'De Rechter' ('The Judge').
His humorous view on the deep-rooted Dutch legal system made the strip in no time so popular that he could live from his hobby, and made it his full-time job. 'De Rechter' appears in seventeen newspapers in Holland and in six albums.
Jesse van Muylwijck lives with his wife and two kids in Canada.
