Gerrit de Jager (Amsterdam 1954) is a Dutch comic-artist, creator of series like De familie Doorzon, Liefde en geluk, Zusje and Roel en zijn Beestenboel. His career started in the early 80's with Wim Stevenhagen under the pseudonym ''Prutspruts'' ("fiddle-fiddle"), which later changed to ''Prutswerk'' ("lousy job"). In the early stages the later Dutch musician Fay Lovsky. The first comic they brought out, titled ''De Ironische Man'' ("The Ironic Man") did not prove very successful, however the (now) duo went on producing comics like 'Bert J. Prulleman' and 'Pruts Pruts, Privat Kreye' for the alternative magazine ''De Vrije Balloen''. In this time the Familie Doorzon was born. In 1984 the duo broke up, and Gerrit de Jager continued the familie Doorzon series and tuned it into a huge success. His loose style, together with ruthless satire on the Dutch society gained the position of the most popular comic-artist. == Style and Satire== The success of ''De Familie Doorzon'' is largely due to the perfect satire on Dutch society and family life, with every majority and minority represented and no one spared. From the transvestite barkeeper (''Rinus'') to the dopepeddling ''Ronnie D.'' and his voluptuous sister and her black husband every nook and cranny of the Dutch welfare state (as personified by ''Emiel'') and its workforce (the ''Biereco's'') is mercilessly ridiculed. Gerrit de Jager has a quite distinct style, characterized by a love for ridiculous situations, which frequently result in disaster. A good example of this is the inevitable falling over of buildings if the ''Biereco's'' (see illustration) had anything to do with it. Although he's milder in his other comics, the common denominator is a good sense for the inevitable madness of social conventions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerrit de Jager」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
