Loss of yet another European comic book great. Condolences to his family.

Dutch comics artist Jan Steeman has died at the age of 74 to kidney failure. 

Steeman was best known for his football (soccer) comic book Roel Dijkstra and bumbling teenage girl Noortje (published in in Tina). Noortje ran for more than 41 years, making it the longest-running Dutch comic strip by one and the same artist.
