It was created by Jef Nys and can be defined as a humoristic children's adventure series. Jommeke, an 11-year-old boy, is the series' main protagonist. It was originally published in Kerk en Leven, before moving to Het Volk, where it ran until the newspaper went bankrupt in 2010. It is now published in Het Nieuwsblad, De Gentenaar and De Standaard. Jommeke is very popular in Flanders and, together with Suske en Wiske, is the best-selling comic strip in the region.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018|reason=Claim is unsupported.}} However, its success has always remained a purely Flemish phenomenon, as attempts at marketing foreign translations have all failed.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018|reason=Blurb makes a claim but fails to provide evidence.}} HistoryThe first appearance of Jommeke was on 30 October 1955, as a gag-a-day strip in the Belgian magazine Kerk en Leven.[2] After moving to another newspaper, Het Volk, in 1958, Jommeke became a full length adventure comic strip, while Nys also continued Jommeke gag pages in 't Kapoentje. Jommeke has sold 51 million albums in Belgium alone, which means an average of about 4.5 albums per person. This makes Jommeke the best-selling comic book series in Belgium behind Suske en Wiske. There's also a newspaper for children called "Jommekeskrant", which is delivered weekly together with popular Belgian newspaper "Het Nieuwsblad". Main characters- Jommeke: A young 11-year-old boy who lives with his parents in Zonnedorp. He has no siblings, but he has a parrot named Flip who accompanies him everywhere. He is clever, honest, brave, loves adventure, and is recognizable by his distinct blonde haircut.
- Flip: A green, red-winged parrot who is Jommeke's pet. Flip is able to talk like a human and is highly intelligent, if somewhat arrogant. His real name is "Filipus", but he prefers "Flip". He is cool headed and has on several occasions saved the day using his wit and his unique abilities as a bird such as flying, using his beak and taking advantage of his small size to spy and sneak. Although his age is unspecified, he has shown adult behavior, on a few rare occasions, by consuming alcohol and smoking cigars. He is also quite the womanizer, usually unsuccessful, due to the fact he is a parrot and not a human.
- Filiberke: Jommeke's best friend, Filiberke joins him on most of his adventures. His pitch-black hair color contrasts nicely with the protagonist. He is creative, and a bit odd too. Many albums start with Filiberke engaging in some crazy activity relating to the main story (e.g. he's "playing a cucumber" at the start of album 146 Komkommer in 't zuur). He also often pretends to be sick, most to the annoyance of the other characters.
- Pekkie: Filiberke's black poodle.
- Annemieke and Rozemieke: Two identical twin girls, notable for their pony-tails. Their names are often shortened to "The Miekes". They are also good friends with Jommeke. Annemieke even has somewhat of a crush on Jommeke, and Rozemieke on Filiberke. The Miekes are notable for their motherly traits, including cooking and washing.
- Choco: Choco is a chimpanzee in a sailor suit. He is the Miekes' pet. He earned his nickname due to the fact that he loves to eat chocolate spread (or "choco", as it is named in both Flemish and Walloon dialect.)
- Professor Gobelijn: An absent-minded professor, notable for his large walrus moustache. He is good-hearted, but frequently makes mistakes because of his absent-mindedness. For instance, he states the exact opposite of what he means, only to correct it immediately afterwards: I.e. "We will arrive next year, I mean tomorrow", "I have completely forgotten, I mean I remember it now." His inventions include pills that make people fly, a car that runs on grass, a submarine in the shape of a whale etc. In "Purpere Pillen" (Purple Pills) Jommeke and Filiberke saved Gobelijn's life. A plaque on his mansion states that he is a "Professor in Everything", i.e. he has a degree on any subject imaginable.
- Anatool: The main antagonist of the series. He is an untrustworthy butler who often resorts to theft. He always wears women's shoes with high heels.
- Kwak and Boemel: Two hoboes who live in an underground house in the middle of the forest. Sometimes they side with Jommeke and his friends, but most of the time they are their opponents. They don't shy away from stealing, kidnapping and collaborating with Anatool to get rich. Also notable are their speech impediments. Kwak makes unnecessary use of the letter "h" in front of words that start off with a syllable. Boemel switches the letters "b" and "p" and the letters "d" and "t" in every word he says.
- De Koningin van Onderland: Prutelia van Achterberg, better known as "The Queen of Onderland", is a mentally ill woman who thinks she is a queen. She is Jommeke's most dangerous and ruthless opponent and the true villain of the series. She frequently escapes from her local asylum and then flees to her castle in Zonnedorp. In the third album "De Koningin van Onderland" (1959) she kidnapped all the children in Zonnedorp to become her personal slaves.

TranslationsApart from some editions for the Netherlands, Jommeke has been unsuccessfully translated into French, English, Finnish and Swedish.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018|reason=No evidence given to support claim that foreign publications failed.}} A German edition was published from 1971 until around 1980 and lasted 32 volumes (the original comics were printed out of order and volumes 27-28 do not exist!) by Gemini Verlag (1-18) and Europress (19-26, 29-34). The series title was (Die tollen Abenteuer von) Peter + Alexander, obviously a play of words on Austrian actor and singer Peter Alexander. In 2011, German editor stainlessART began republishing the German version of Jommeke, keeping original names and places. See www.jommeke.de and [https://www.facebook.com/JOMMEKE.de www.facebook.com/JOMMEKE.de] for further reference and an actual list of already published adventures. Jommeke in other mediaIn 1968, Jef Nys directed a live-action film called "De Schat van de Zeerover" ("The Pirate's Treasure"), which was a low-budget adaptation of the eponymous Jommeke album. It was essentially an amateur project, made by him and his family members and starred his own son in the main role.[3] Jommeke in popular cultureOn July 31, 1997 [4] Jommeke was the first comic book character to receive his own statue in Middelkerke, in front of the casino.[5] It was sculpted by Valeer Peirsman.[6] On March 26, 2014 Jommeke's statue became a victim of vandalism. It had to be restored and was placed back again on June 28, 2014.[7] On July 29, 2006 Annemieke and Rozemieke also received a statue in Middelkerke, near the Theresiastraat.[8] It was sculpted by Monique Mol.[9] In 2015, it was announced that two other characters from the franchise, Filiberke and Pekkie, would also receive statues on the Zeedijk of Middelkerke. On June 18, 2011 [10] a wall depicting Jommeke characters was inaugurated near the Frans Halsplein in Antwerp.[11] On May 27, 2015 a special comic book wall was made in the Lokvogelstraat in Laeken, Belgium. It features a huge wall painting starring Jommeke and the main cast members.[12] Sources1. ^https://www.lambiek.net/artists/n/nijs.htm 2. ^https://www.lambiek.net/artists/n/nijs.htm 3. ^https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258130/ 4. ^http://www.standbeelden.be/standbeeld/430 5. ^http://www.toerismemiddelkerke.be/toerisme/stripstandbeelden.aspx 6. ^http://www.standbeelden.be/standbeeld/430 7. ^http://www.hln.be/regio/nieuws-uit-middelkerke/jommeke-en-flip-terug-op-post-a1931037/ 8. ^http://www.toerismemiddelkerke.be/toerisme/stripstandbeelden.aspx 9. ^http://www.standbeelden.be/standbeeld/91 10. ^http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/957/Binnenland/article/detail/1280551/2011/06/18/Achtste-stripmuur-zet-Jommeke-in-de-kijker-in-Antwerpen.dhtml 11. ^http://stripmuren.be/stripmuren-comic-murals-antwerp/ 12. ^http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english/Culture/1.2352448
