Jos van Pulderbos
Between 31 October and 13 December 1984, Dierickx drew a weekly comic strip for the student magazine Veto, which circulates in the university city Leuven. The story follows an enthusiastic student, Jos van Pulderbos, who tries to make it on the college campus. Although brilliant, he is less lucky with women. Dierickx also drew regular cartoons for Veto, which he signed with his initials, E.D., AKA Ed. Two other future notable people who wrote and illustrated for this student magazine around the same time were Pascal Lefèvre and Katrien van Schuylenbergh. Dierickx also contributed to other student magazines like Studentikoos, Student Echos and De Voetbalgazet, published by Eric Dilles.
