Noortje (full name Noortje Visser) is a Dutch gag-a-day humor comic strip created in 1975 for the Dutch girls' magazine Tina. The script is by Patty Klein and the drawings are by Jan Steeman. It is currently one of the longest-running Dutch comics series and with 41 years the longest-running Dutch comics series made by the same writer/artist team.

Concept

Noortje stars a young, red-haired teenage girl with freckles. Each episode is a self-contained story in which she usually makes a huge blunder or ends up in an embarrassing situation.

Characters

  • Noortje Visser: A young girl who is very clumsy and a bit naïve. She has a love for animals, but suffers from arachnaphobia and dislikes cleaning up her room. She is often late for school. Originally the character was about 12 or 13 years old, but she is nowadays around 16.
  • Sander: Her brother, whom she feels annoyed with.
  • Marlies: Noortje's best friend.
